OM-2000 kit with the two zoom lenses (35-70mm f3.5-4.8; 70-210mm f4.5-5.6),
plus small dedicated flash S20 with an Olympus bag thrown in free are still
here (Malaysia). List price is about US$315. In fact, almost every
reasonably sized photo shops have got it!!

BTW is this S20 flash similar to the Leica CF used for the minilux?

Eddie
