John,
By loose part, I think I correctly assume you mean the front element. What
was available? All the elements as a package? Or nothing? If I recall, the
90mm f2 macro is also current production. Am I wrong in my assumption that
Olympus, as well as all manufacturers, have to supply parts for a certain
number of years AFTER an item is no longer produced. It should go with out
saying that parts should be available during the production run. What gives?
Any ideas?
Regards,
John Austin
