Yes, thanks Dean.
Mr Wrotniak writes about digital photography in the Olympus Circle
magazine (pamphlet) and I must admit to having found his style and tone
brash and over-self-opinionated (what, me? No, I'm never like that!
;-)); I wrote to the editor and told him what I thought ...
... but this tone and this style are quite entertaining, and useful on
his website. Perhaps because I am now used to the same tone used by a
fair number of reviewers & opinion-staters on various websites, I can
handle Mr Wrotniak's essays. More the point, his analysis of the E-300
is pretty useful as a prompt to check my knowledge of different
controls and their settings on the E-1. He's obviously a brainy bloke,
and he doesn't let a little solecism of vocabulary or grammar get the
way of a good point. I wish I were that clever or confident in a
second language. On the other hand, our parish priest is a Pole and
his English has improved hugely over a very short period of time;
perhaps they are all cleverer than I am ....
I am glad that he hasn't tried Metz flashes on either of the digital
bodies. I have already ordered the small Metz flash (28 something) to
use on my E-1. I will then decide whether to take up the FL-36 order I
have made. Once I have sorted out the flash capability, I shall be
happy with my setup of E-1, 14-54, flash and Sigma 55-200.
