<p>The Oly DSLR is one of the most adaptable out there - Make certain you have a 4/3 DSLR as opposed to an M4/3 and then head off to the Internet and buy an adapter. Make sure you get an OM to 4/3 and not an Micro 4/3 or MFT adapter if that is what you need.<br> They are getting a bit hard to find these days, but, they are still out there.</p>

<p>I posted a <a href=" </a>to flickr the other day that I took on my first digital camera - an Olympus E-410 complete with the 14 - 42 mm kit lens. It is a beautiful image of its sort, IMHO.<br> What makes me miss that camera most though, is how much fun the thing was. It cost practically nothing, it was light weight and easy to use (if you ignored the tunnel-like viewfinder) and I still had all my film gear to use for jobs and 'important' outings.<br> As I look back now at the images that little 4/3 sensor made I shake my head in wonder; it was the best B&W camera I have owned in the digital age.<br> Like several old lenses I have used, it was 'alive' and I miss it.<br> What about you?</p>

<p>I have no idea yet, just got the email.<br> <br />Here in Sweden there is a 'union scale' for these things - I do not have any idea where to start in the American market. In dollars. Assume single use for trade show displays - I am assuming they want the image as a background (it is a B&W abstract). Every possibility from a banner to back lit signage for a big 'booth'. </p> <p>At this point though, that is all they have asked about.</p> <p>My first instinct was to start at $500.00 and to be prepared to drop in negotiations - is that reasonable?</p>

<p>Hello, I have just received a message from a large manufacturer who wants to use one of my images at a trade fair as a background image for all of its banners and signs. I have not talked with them yet and do not know if they also want to use it in brochures or other applications as well.</p> <p>I am in Sweden and the 'customer' is based in Canada, the trade show will be in Miami & they are a multi-national corporation.</p> <p>What should I open negotiations with?</p> <p>Any suggestions are most welcome, especially on this July 4th weekend!</p> <p>Ron Pyke<br />Sweden </p>
