It came in an all-too-cute and sumptious purple fake-silk lined box, but the 
4/3 OM adapter is now in the house.  My wife is leaving tomorrow morning for 
her family reunion in Texas, a place where I choose never to be between June 
and October*, particularly among folks barbecuing goat instead of pig.  The 
weather here is predicted to be perfect for the next few days, so I have plenty 
of unsupervised time to try all sorts of "unauthorized" lenses on the E-1.

I think I'll start with the Zuikos: 50/2, 90/2, 100/2, 180/2.8, then the 
38/2.8, 80/4 and 135/4.5 macros on the 65-116 tube, followed by the 300/4.5 and 
400/6.3, despite the fact they aren't "permitted" according to the cheat-sheet 
that came in the too-fancy box.  Then I'll try the 80-200/2.8 and 300/2.8 
Tamrons, and maybe even the 1250/10 Celestron.  I will also, when moved by my 
muse, mix in the 1.4X-A and 2X-A teleconverters.

What's it going to cost me besides some wasted time and fil -- oh, that's 
right.  I keep forgetting about not having to worry about that pesky film and 
processing thing.  :-)
