Hello Olympus list,

I am finally back from an unexpectedly long trip to Las Vegas.

My wife had an emergency appendectomy while we were gone and 1 1/2 weeks turned 
into 3 weeks.

For all you left eyed people out there, try putting an eye cup on the camera.  
I did it as a test and it seemed to help.
As a curiosity, I never looked through a viewfinder with my left eye before and 
when I did the bottom of the split image blacked out.  This is with a 28 mm SC 
3.5 Zuiko and a 1-13 screen. Weird, I had trouble getting my eye in the right 
(or left) place.

On another subject:  I had encountered a dilemma with this same lens.  In 
bright daylight I needed a polarizer to get any color saturation at all, 
however the sky was unevenly polarized because of the wide lens (looks bad).  I 
used the original hard rubber lens shade when no filter was mounted.  It seems 
that the problem is a combination of flare, haze and reflection.

Any suggestions?  (and don't say get up earlier)
