Hi Douglas,

I got the Oly E-510 with the intention of trying out some Leica glass 
without blowing my budget with the purchase of an M8.  While I concede that 
the M8 sensor gives sharper images, and RF focusing is nice, the Leica-R 
lenses give me a quality that is fine for this aging amateur.

Thanks for the kind words.
