Walt,
I had the exact same experience. It was truly liberating not to
mention eye-opening.

Subject: [OM] Viewfinder shock
I will confess to not shooting any film since early fall of last year,
having been bitten hard by the digital bug. My OMs have languished
unused, my three OM-4Ti's each with a half-shot roll of Provia still
inside, the OM-3 empty and without batteries, the OM-4's untouched,
empty and also battery-less, and the two OM-1n's in zip-lok bags since
some time before Christmas, when I intended (and still do) to send them
off to John for a CLA.
Moments ago, I loaded the Odyssey OM-1n, mounted the 35-80/2.8 Zuiko,
and stepped outside to "dry fire" a shot or two. I damn near fell over
bass-ackwards when I put the camera up to my good eye! It was like
waking up parked on the front row of a drive-in theater with a
Cinemascope double feature showing and a bra-less 10 in a tight T-shirt
and short shorts nibbling on my ear.
How quickly we forget! Digital is fun, and quick, and easy, and damn
near foolproof, but now that I'm reminded of what the world looks like
through a real viewfinder, I'm ordering more film.
Walt, born again
