Thanks for an interesting tip, but if I then DON'T want to read about IS lenses
from
C*n*n, but DO want to read about Olympus' IS system? ;-)

I have often wondered what the reason is behind those messages full of nothing
but
quoted text and with no reply or response what so ever. People are so upset
that they
accidently hit the "Send" button while on-line or what? If so they should make
sure
"send messages immediately" is not enabled.
