Hi Frank,
many thanks for that input! I never knew. This really is 'the list of
enlightenment' for me.

.....and the list of dealings of course (Hi Gary and Gary and Paul ;-).
I just bought a Zuiko MC 200mm/4.0 for a measly DM170 (US$ 95). There is
another one for the same price at the same source (not connected to me
in any way). Mail me privately, if interested.

Cheers, Soenke
