I was cleaning out my backlog of unread emails and came across this one,
which got my attention.
So how did this purchase work out? My first E-500 was one of these kits,
which I bought at Costco for $800 just after they were released. The lenses
were set aside after I leaned that I could use MF lenses once I got a suitable
adapter.
After reading all of the problems and misgivings about the newer models,
as well as the recent discussion about the Kodak sensor, I decided that
sticking with the E-500/510/520 was a wise choice. So, I went hunting on
evilBay and came away with a clean E-500 body for just under $40.
