Concave or convex
It would fit either sex
And was really quite simple to clean.

Oops.  That's the end of an old limerick, which probably has nothing to do with 
a digital Zuiko lens.

I am normally fairly observant, but I honestly had not realized that.  However, 
looking at the lens schematic on the back of the instruction sheet, the front 
element is definitely, and fairly deeply, dished.  I haven't a clue whether 
this is unique.  I've got, counting digital, 35mm, MF and LF, probably 60 or 
more lenses, and I don't think I've ever seen one with such a front element.

Party on, Bill.  Somebody'll come up with something.
