There is something slightly amusing - or puzzling - about all this
excitement related to taking lenses with 20-30 year-old designs,
attaching them to camera bodies with the newest form of capture medium
and features, and using the lenses in a mode - stop down - which has in
effect been obsolete for the past 40 years. How many of you would have
even vaguely considered buying an OM of any kind had it only had
stop-down metering?
I know this is seen as a way to save money and make use of the Zuiko
lenses, but...Frankly, an E-1 deserves the E-1 lenses, and, for that
matter, one of the reasons for buying a digital Rebel, if one were to go
that route, is to be able to use some of the outstanding Canon lenses.
(I'm writing this keeping in mind the fact that I see more discussion of
non-OEM lenses on this list than practically any other.)

Some of the lights being sold by Olympus are stated to components of
kits that were separated. That's their reason for not having boxes
anyway. /jim

The stand is different from the LSD2 being sold by Olympus, but the
light itself doesn't look like the ones I've seen that were labeled LSD.
Maybe they were missing pieces. How can you tell from the picture that
the light is an LSD2?
