Subject: [Leica] OT: So an Oly shooter walks into a doctors office...

Tomorrow my "interior plumbing" will be photographed by a non-consumer 
Olympus device.  Just routine, it's time.  Which gives me the excuse to 
retell this story:

Ten years ago, when I last had that dreaded procedure, I had just bought 
an E-1.   When I had my initial consultation, I brought the owners 
manual to the waiting room to read.  When I got called into the doctor's 
office, the doctor saw the manual.  He said enthusiastically, "You shoot 
Olympus!  Hey, I use their stuff, too! They make *great* optics!"  And 
then, because I'm "in the family," he proceeded to tell me all the 
capabilities of said device in great detail.  Which was interesting, but 
not quite what I wanted to hear at the time.

Still, it was worth it for the story.
