Forgive me for adding to the seemingly endless cascade of corporate, rather
than photographic, messages...but...

The recent exchanges regarding the terrific OM3/4 metering system lead me to
wonder what might happen if Solms and Olympus were to come together on a
reflex project...the OM bodies are, after all, pretty close to being the M's
of the reflex world, at least in terms of size, etc...Okay, there are some
QC issues...so what else is new....But think of Leica glass on a more
tightly QCed OM3...What a reflex companion for the Ms...And given the fact
that Olympus seems to be maintaining the OM line as a status-enhancing
loss-leader, they might well be open to the possibility of an interesting
collaboration....
