Ironically, while David Bailey endorsed the Olympus Trip, the Olympus OM Series, The Olympus E-10 and E-20 and eventually the E-System DSLRs over a period of 35 years, he has never, I repeat *never* used Olympus cameras in his work. Bailey has always used medium format film SLRs and I believe that he still does.

It's extremely hard to measure the effect of advertising, and while companies and advertisers often take for granted that celebrity endorsements work, I'm not at all convinced that they actually do. In fact, this is true for many forms of advertising. Can you remember the last Web page you looked at? Can you remember any of the _advertising_ on the last Web page you looked at?

The last time I'd saved up enough to take her out for dinner I bought a new lens. So far, I'm streets ahead of Ashton in terms of "Bang for the Buck". -- Pete
