Interesting release actually. I wonder how much the third party lens manufacturer's entry into this segment will steer folks into the other systems... if at all..

My first camera I ever owned was an Olympus OM 10... Did I just reveal my age? LOL

Then the OM 2..... A Nikon F3 in there somewhere came into the picture.... a Nikon 8008s and a 4004... the 4004 was given to my dad and he still has it to this day.

I have the 8008s, which I'm going to sell. All other film bodies are long since sold.

Apparently we should be keeping our film cameras as there is expected to be a shortage of supply to meet demand. Can't remember where I read it, but I'm going to keep hold of my OM system anyway, as it's worth more to me than the financial rewards of selling. Still gets used for B&W and slide, and still can produce results that are different and in some cases better (if more laborious to process) than digital.
