I read your e-mail with extreme interest and noted that you are working with an OM-2000 converted to half frame! I always thought this was a standard full frame camera like the rest of the OM series.
Please e-me and tell how you converted this camera - it sounds extremely interesting !!!
I may be interested in doing a similar conversion which is why this appeals to me so much. I am eagerly waiting to hear the details from you.
Best of luck,
Jim Meldrum

It's funny, I use my OM-2000 1/2 frame (converted) so much for day-to-day snap shots that I never think about it being worth mentioning. If I go out with the older Pen-EED or Pen-F then I think it is noteworthy, but that doesn't happen much. I have found a local shop that always stocks 12exp Fuji Reala, and that is what I have been shooting. I can use that up in a day, but those 36exp rolls just sit in the camera for days!
BTW: the Zuiko 28mm f2 on a half-frame OM body is absolutely AWESOME.
Cheers all! - marc
