Default Eh! Another forum.

I'd guess many of you know me from other photo forums and I was kind of circumspect as to whether I really needed another one to keep tabs on. But after several prods, I thought that maybe one devoted to m4/3s could be useful.

For those that don't know me, my main photographic bent is covering news and sports for a newspaper in Melbourne, but with Olympus 4/3s gear. I'm also an Olympus Pen 1 and 2 owner, and want to put this gear into more use in my photographic work.

The Pen 1 and 2 are now my main working travel kit, with a bunch of manual focus lenses (when flying or otherwise having to travel light). So my interest in this forum is mainly to do with all aspects of manual lenses, both old and new. My oldest lens, as far as I know, dates back to 1966; still a pup in many respects, but fine glass nonetheless.

Cheers

Ray

Enough prodding got me motivated. The forum at least focusses on the particular format, so things don't get lost in mixed format discussions.

Cheers

They can block it all they like as far as I'm concerned, word will still get around. At least in these forums you don't get the cross-dressers and kids with nappy rash, like on that forum, whose only purpose is to stir the pot.

Welcome aboard Ray, you have some great images on your site.

I agree about DPreview, it's about the bitchiest forum out there, I do browse but never post.
