I decided to get the Olympus as my "travel-light" camera because I have seen good results here on the list, and frankly because I also wanted to try something different. I was also attracted to their ultrasonic thingie which cleans the sensor when you start it up. And finally, it was the smallest and lightest SLR out there. I got myself a Leica R to Four Thirds adapter, so my 100mm Apo Macro is now usable on both my Canon and my Olympus. Oh, and of course, there are Leica lenses for the Four Thirds system, so should I wish to do so, I can regain some street cred here on the LUG by getting one of those for my next trip :-) Cheers, Nathan Phil Swango wrote: > Nathan, I've enjoyed this set a lot.
