Thats a great idea!
So let's see if @jdeg sees this and has an answer for us.
We could stage a coup if he refuses to comply
. Perhaps a posting strike

Let's not discuss this here Rick, our chatroom is better for this.

I'm all for this Rick and Marcel.....hopefully John will be too. Nikonites has lost some very good photogs when they switched brands. Out of respect for Marcel and John, I won't continue to lobby for this, but hopefully they'll see a favorable way to keep some of us here. Nikonites is a great site.
. Had a quick at everything and it is very impressive! Size is perfect.
My new kit arrived a day early! Picked it up on lunch and have battery charging. Had a quick at everything and it is very impressive! Size is perfect.

What is that have to do with anything? When life hands you lemons, you take rain pics.
I used to hate it when there was fog out and I wanted to go shooting. Now I love foggy mornings and get disappointed when the sun is out.Taking Photos of Rain - Digital Photo Secrets

Ok, first shots. By the time I upgraded firmware and set a few custom controls (two dials, two fn buttons, and a lever to double settings in all buttons/dials!) it was getting pretty dark. These are handheld in poor light. Hope to get out this weekend in better conditions.
A few first thoughts...,
The Body and 24-80 2.8 lens have a magnificent feel, metal. The lens body and ring grips are aluminum, no rubber. The inner lens barrel and lip is plastic/carbon fiber, like Nikon. I like the absence of the rubber rings as the dust attraction drove me nuts. The body is just a little tank, mag alloy. The body is probably about 25% smaller than a Nikon Dx body. The pro 24-80 2.8 is about 60% the size of the tamron 24-70 2.8. Exterior controls are great, there will be no menu surfing while shooting!
Cons so far:
The battery charger is corded, another thing to pack. The LCD must be pulled down to open the USB plug for uploading. Very minor things so far. There is some frustration in learning new controls from a different manufacturer, but it's not oly's fault.

It sure looks sharp and nice
Thanks! and these are in crappy conditions!
What is OLPF Rick?
Optical Low Pass Filter, the Oly does NOT have one which is good. Nikon has been eliminating them on newer dense sensors to increase sharpness. The newer processors are better at controlling moire, so they are not needed.
