Three OM-4T bodies and a big collection of lenses. They worked magnificently, were small and very light, and very reliable. I have two Leica M6 bodies now, which I also love, but the Leica bodies are BIGGER than the OM-4T, although the RF lenses are smaller than equivilent SLR lenses. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 12/2/12 7:50 PM, "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> wrote: >Thanks, Jon.
