Hmm. I was considering getting an OM-5 as a backup/lighter alternative; I still feel nervous going anywhere with only a single camera body, even though I'v never yet had a digital camera body fail on me (and, in 50 years, only had two mechanical failures; once when my MX motor drive bent a drive shaft in my MX, and once when my PZ-1p objected to being used in rain, and took some time off to dry out. I don't count my MZ-S objecting to having its lens mount knocked off when I slipped climbing down from a photo tower and banged it hard against an upright - that was entirely my own fault). I suspect 'adequate' might still serve my purpose, although I will admit that I was verging towards the slightly newer OM-D E-M5 Mk III. I'll be interested to see how you feel about it after a week or two. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
