>>I was told that just because a lens was available in the warehouse for
sale, did not mean it was in production. They said that some parts might be
available, they would check with the parts department when and if the need
arose, I should send the lens in for repair.>>
Very interesting. You should send the lens in for repair, and see what
happens. If they replace the element, it may mean that parts _are_
available but they are keeping them for their own greedy selves. If not, it
means thay made x thousand of these x number of years ago, and when the
stock is gone, that's it, pal. Or, being positive, when the stock is gone,
if Oly sees demand as being sufficient, they _might_ run another x thousand.
