Only one |notable find this year: a 25mm f4 Olympus pen lens at 5 can. dollars. | What a great buy!!! The Olympus Pen F was my camera of choice before I bought an M3. I bought the Pen F in 1964 and still use it. It even X syncs at its fastest shutter speed. I still carry it in my briefcase. One of the reasons for the M3 was that it was the closest in size to the Pen F that I could find --- using double frame 35mm gave me a great deal more latitude in enlargements. I still vision photographs in the vertical format and thus being left-eye dominant has not been that much of a problem. I have never found any Leica equipment at garage sales. Did find a nice McClellan saddle once, though. Maybe I need to expand my garage sale presence. Regards, Bill Larsen ohlen@lightspeed.net
