I thought I might make this a sort of regular feature.
Purely because we have had so many 'interesting' customers since we opened.
Today, once again I managed to blow the horn for Olympus.
About 11.15 a middle aged couple came in and had a look around and ordered coffee , filled rolls and cakes.
We got talking and they said how impressed they were with the A2 size Sea Eagle print we have mounted and framed on the wall. They also mentioned that they thought it was too cheap.
Anyway the chap asked wether it was taken using either of the Canikon brands and when I said "No actually it was an OM-D E-M5, an Olympus camera.
He nearly burst into tears and his wife looked very pleased.
Seemingly he has been a life long Oly fan having owned OM 1n's and an OM2sp.
He now owns a used and somewhat battered E420 which was sold to him for next to nothing just before coming away and he was very disappointed with the results. He was looking at them on the rear LCD and they didn't look 'sharp'.
I took his card and downloaded it onto my macbook and he was smitten with
the images. He was about to ditch the Oly and buy aCanikon when he got back home but after a wee play with my OM-D guess what he's going to get?
Thats two sales at least now. Long may it continue.
I'm thinking of putting wee cards under all of the prints saying NO' it was taken on an Olympus 4/3rds or m4/3rds camera.
