As always, I enjoy your colorful metaphors. Maybe this will get your
foto funk on its way out of town!

I still shoot film, although not often. There is something really
pleasurable about wandering about with an OM-1 and 2-3 of those tiny old
Zuiko primes. Or an OM-4 and a nice mid range zoom.
On the other hand, the full frame viewfinder is one of the reasons I'm
so close to a 5D purchase. Assuming its viewfinder is like my neighbor's
A2, it's no OM-1 or 2, but much like an OM-4, way nicer than any of the
small sensor DSLRs.
