Yes, Burton, I too have recently come across the above exchange and this too
got me a bit worried ... esp. since I JUST GOT my Pictor 416 system (and color
wheel) TODAY!!

Needless to say, I will be testing it out the first chance I get and I will be
glad to pass on what happened ... unfortunately this may not be for awhile
since the weather here (near Toronto, Ontario, Canada) does not look good for
the next couple of days. :(

I've got my Olympus OM-1 all ready to go too (to test the 201XT).

Wish me luck .....
