Hi all:
I'd like to add a section to the FAQ on how to interpret the date codes
on lenses.  Here are some examples:

        TNFB
        TND4
        TNE5
        SAFC

These appear as small white letters/numbers on the flat black area at
the rear of the lens, just inside the lens mount.  My guess, based on
other date codes Oly uses, is that the third letter stands for a month,
and the last letter/number stands for a year.  Any ideas?

Cheers,
--Lee
