"In my twenty years long career I've always shot with Olympus cameras." So the guy couldn't afford a Leica and bought an OM-1 and stuck with it. Now it's full frame 24x36. Full frame, as in fill to the edge. Not the finger nail 2x crop. Like Crop Circles. You need high ISO to shoot when the aliens beam the cows up, which I just had a hamburger last Thursday, a Holstein cow, that's what I call full frame.
