Starting Here, Starting Now Predicting The Future For More Than 25 Years

摘要

When Olympus announced the Four Thirds concept at PMA 2001,1 was among the many members of the press who were, to put it in the most polite terms, skeptical. At the time, it seemed to me like a cure for no known disease, but I began to get cautiously optimistic. Two things happened that changed my mind: I started shooting the Olympus E-l at events, such as the US Grand Prix and New York's Fashion Week, and my wife, Mary, enthusiastically embraced the system, producing some amazing images, first with the E-l and then with every new SLR Olympus has launched since. She and I are currently shooting the E-620 and I am especially impressed with the way the camera echoes the glory days of the company's jewel-like OM series of film SLRs.
