It would be a shame to see you go, George, though I certainly can 
understand why. I don't own a digital camera than can use Zuikos and, 
frankly, am not sure I ever will. At the same time, I've decided to not 
invest more money in my OMs -- money that I think is better spent on a 
"live" system -- so discussions about Olys I don't own and comparisons 
of Zuikos of similar focal lengths just don't attract my interest. It's 
all fine discussion for most folks here. It just isn't for me, and I end 
up skipping maybe three-quarters of each day's posts.

What keeps me subscribing, though, is the quality of the photographic 
work displayed through the list. GeeBee and Richard Lovison in 
particular -- and Olafo through TOPE -- offer virtual diaries of 
excellent work. It's always nice to see a beautiful photo; it's even 
better to draw inspiration from it. GeeBee's photos have inspired me to 
shoot a few rolls of B&W; Richard's to see the beauty in the world 
around us. So far, it's been worth the price of admission (pressing 
Delete several times a day) to me.

I hope you can find a reason to stick around.

Steve
