Epiphany?

[back alley]

So Gid, you're done too?

i just realized that i might be done!

quite content with the rd1s...
like my current compliment of lenses...just bought a cv 75/2.5, my cv 25 arrived this past week...i'm covered from 21 to 75 now...the zm 50/1.5 still tugs a bit but it might go away...

no pronouncements today but i am getting closer...

I don't shoot in the dark - seldom shoot above ISO400, I don't shoot sports or BIF and rarely print larger than 18 x 12.

These are key points. For those of us that shoot in the dark, newer sensors will generally offer cleaner high ISO images.

The only epiphany I've had recently is to sell my M9 and lenses, buy two less elegant cameras and lenses, and then put the rest of the cash in the bank. It felt good.

That sounds very wise.

Yes! That's it too... I was feeling a little weird about going to certain neighborhoods in NYC with $8000+ of luxury around my neck.

No argument with that.

Get the A1. A great camera. And keep the Olympus gear, especially the E1. I sold mine and got a Nikon 5100 because I already had lots of Nikon lenses from film days. The Nikon has much better specs and will enlarge bigger, but the E1 was King. I don't think anyone who hasn't used one could understand why. (Actually the E3 wasn't far behind).

Buy to use and you really don't need to worry that much.
