My first digital was also a c3040z. Still got it, last used a couple of years ago, pressed into service as a meter for a 4x5 camera, using Olympus's classic multi spot meter thing, worked great too, except the mental arithmetic of always converting a reading at the camera's smallest aperture (f/8) to f/22! Since then I've only owned 2 more digitals, D70 and my current GF1.
