Ahem. I'm actually looking for another large-format camera. I never
did get rid of my film holders.

Different swapping. No purchasing just yet. Just thinking about
swapping one of the two OM bodies for the L1 and additn the E-1 to the
mix. It really does need to be taken out and exercised. I do need to
keep the L1 around because it's what I use for the sun/moon rise/set
shots.

That thought does cross my mind. But several factors come into play:
1. The focus screen in the 6D may be better for manual focus of legacy lenses,
2. Built in WiFi and GPS,
3. Mirrorless Full-frame is right around the corner. I don't want to
spend too much money on a temporary camera,
4. Lighter.

The the price of the Mk3 was the same as the Mk2, then I wouldn't even
be thinking about the 6D. But the Mk3 is up in nose-bleed pricing
right now.

I got to fondle a BEAUTIFUL M6. Whimper. Let's see... $1600 for an M6
or a 6D. (M6D?). Decisions, decisions...
