Olympus AX70/80/MX80

#1 Post by microb » Sun Sep 03, 2023 10:29 pm

After lifting two MX80’s up a flight of stairs, the AX70’s and even the one AX80 feel so light weight. Amazingly feather light.
On another note, yes under pressure I’d be the second one to admit that mistakes were made. There is one more AX80 at a delivery depot waiting and two AX70’s create in storage. So that brings the grand total of some number plus or minus another number.
I remember a day long ago when I actually thought the BHM’s were really heavy.

Yikes, Microb. That haul would have me feeling obligated to find the missing optics.

Optics are easy. It's the cables that need to be custom made.

Wow! That's quite a crowd. I gotta ask what do you need so many for?
I doubt I'll ever move my E800 again and I doubt it weighs as much as those.

Over the next couple years, I'm going to get them up and running, and sell them off.

Nice. They're definitely worth it. And better you than me on shipping logistics :)
