In fact, Gary, the sales rep from TriState camera that I mentioned on the OlympuLeic blog - he just asked about my reference to the perfect camera bag for the E-330 being a Chrysler 300. Here's what I wrote to him: "The Chrysler 300 is a General Motors revival of the original muscle car, the 1955 Chrysler 300. It had the original "hemi" engine that you see advertised so much today, and it won many races back then. The model was discontinued and "revived" three or four years ago as a unique tough-looking car. The lines of the Oly E-330 with the 7-14mm lens remind me of the unique styling. "Here's a 300 at: http://www.joesdiecastshack.com/Bling_chrysler300c.jpg (This image or the car itself looks tricked-up a bit - which shows even better the tough style) "See what I mean? Maybe I'll post a link page on the blog site so you young guys will know what I'm talking about ;-)" Gary Todoroff (Tree LUGger) -----Original Message----- Douglas Sharp Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 1:51 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Couple of E-330 shots Looks really mean with Leica glass on it. Is the body really so tiny? Leic-anthro-pus?
