Yup. The Olydak is an E20 without a glued-on lens. Talk about unoriginal. Boring. At this point it's nor a professional system. A flash and a hand full of lenses if all you can get. Plus you have to buy them new. At least with C, N, and Pentax you can get a ton of great used pro glass for relatively cheap. If Pentax came out with the Olydak, I would imagine people on this list would say: "what the heck is this thing?" More K mount users would jump ship than ever before. Except Pal of course... --- Kwan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 4 Mar 2003, Rob Studdert wrote: > > > Far from bland?
