Subject: Re: [OM] OM adapter to E-1 4/3rds confirmed
Hi all,
I was quite surprised to see the message I posted on the dp-now discussion
forum appear back on this list as I originally got wind of the adapter at
zuiko.com and then on this mailing list so I assumed it was common
knowledge here. Since there seemed to be some uncertainty regarding the
possibility of the OM-4/3 adapter among the contributors to the dp.now
group, I decided to post the message there once I had received confirmation
of its existence from John Hermanson.
I'm glad to see this list is still going strong with many of the "old"
contributors still active. I have frequently referred to the archives (and
still do) when I wanted to find out something specific on OM matters which
wasn't covered on the FAQ site or when I wanted to read a variety of
opinions on something but since these stop at 2000 I thought that the
mailing list, like its raison d'être, had been discontinued. I have only
just re-subscribed to the list and so I look forward to many more fruitful
discussions and shared experiences involving OMs and Zuikos.
A bit about me: I've been an OM user/enthusiast for the last 7 years or so
but my interest in photography (and hopefully my ability) has escalated
since moving to Switzerland three years ago as a result of an increase in
available time, cash and photographic subjects. Much of my efforts are
devoted to landscapes, particularly mountains and lakes of which there is
an abundant supply here, although I've been trying my hand at a fair bit of
macro and architecture work recently. Any other list members in Switzerland?
Cheers for now,
Duncan.
