Hi,

As a new member to the mail lists, I would like to introduce myself.

My initial interest in photography came about 30 years ago and, since that 
time, I have used various models of German and Japanese rangefinder cameras 
procuded from the 30' to the 60' or, for a change, Swiss reflex cameras.

At this stage, You might wonder what I am doing in the Olypus mail ist.

Well, 10 years ago, during a visit to Chile, I had to let repair the shutter of 
my Nikon S, showing some weakness precisely the day after my arrival. In the 
shopping mall close to the repair workshop, there were some camerashops  
selling used cameras and I quicly decided myself for an Olympus Pen F and its 
three lenses to accompany me during my trip to Chiloe, in the south of Santiago.

As the results were more than satisfactory, and as I enjoyed the compactness of 
the camera, I take either a Pen F or FT or a viewfinder Pen or one from the 
"35" series when I want to travel "light".

Sometimes ago, I came across an Olympus Pen (an early version with one strap 
lug) in a lot of cameras and I was happy to get one after a long research to 
test it. Immediately, the seller, a retired camera dealer, told me that in 
fact, it was a dummy Olympus Pen.

I had never heard about dummies Olympus Pen before.

Could any member of the mail list be kind enough to mrovide me with some 
informatin or data on these dummies ?

Thank you very much

Jean-Pierre Vergine
