I'd much rather you (Paul D. Farrar" <farrar@xxxxxxxxxxxx>) just added the
number of blades to the "dimensions" column, I find having "the numbers" on the
page a convenient "idiots guide to pricing" and appreciate it's slowing me down
on some wildly overpriced lenses.  And towards getting on your good side to
influence this:

Zuiko lens     #blades (as best I could count this morning)

Actually, I've been planning to add that. I've been thinking about dropping the
price information, since that's hard to keep current, and also because I
don't want to influence the market.
