EOS 10D here. My EOS film is a 50E. It sits in the cupboard and has for quite a while now, ever since the 10D arrived. I've an Olympus OM1 as well, though both nostalgia and an indefinable, subjective (and perhaps tipping over into "irrational" in some regards) feeling achieved with that one (and Zuiko 50/1.4), that seems to lead to photos I appear less able to produce otherwise, has it drawn out on occasion. The 50E probably could leave, if it wasn't for some self-delusional hoarding the retains it as "backup", as well as interest in how a couple of newer lenses (35/2 & 70-200/2.8IS) will look with some film-results but the OM1 will likely never leave. I've too much affection for it (and its occasional results that have please family members). Mind you, I've also purchased a Polaroid SX70 in recent times, and an Oly 35RC sits there as well, not to mention the YashicaMat 124 TLR. I've been keeping an eye out locally on eB*y for an Argus "brick" in working condition at a cheap-as-chips bargain price too. Fortunately, I can stop anytime I want. ;-) Cheers, MarcL (Hmm, 400D as "backup" maybe? :-D ) Sydney, Oz * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
