Hey guys,

This is not an easy post for me, but have to do it.

A few weeks ago I decided to sell my Olympus gear. This being my E-500, 14-45 Zuiko, Sigma 55-200, and FL-36 Flash. As well as a few other acessories. I did not want to come out with it until I knew for sure, but today my camera sold, and I will be more than likely headed back to Canon. I want to make it very clear that it was not the camera's fault. I love this camera. It is a wonderful photographic tool. My reasons are more personal than that. It's more about fit and personal style. No one should feel bad about owning this camera. I sure didn't. I was always proud of it, and I know some people that got sick of me showing it off...:p

I will be staying on as Moderator until we have decided on a replacement. It has been my great pleasure to get this forum started, and I know that it will go on after me.

I wanted to share with you guys my favorite images that I captured with my E-500 while it was my camera...

So here they are...

As you can see, it was a somber moment for me.

Thanks guys, it's been a hell of a ride!

I'm still here for ya buddy. I will always have the taste of Olympus in my mouth now, so expect me to keep myself up to date on what they are doing.
