[Leica] Nine more E-330 images...

[bdcolen at comcast.net (B. D. Colen)]

Right you are, Ted - the lenses Olympus has developed for its 4/3 cameras
are surprisingly good, in terms of both the quality of the images produced,
and the build of the lenses. Are these built like Leica M lenses? No, but
neither are most luxury cars. :-) But are they built to last? Absolutely.
