The 1N itself, and lens, was fine but the case itself is now in a terrible
state - the surface cracked and peeled but the inside is fine. I've just bought
a black Olympus case mail order, that has a similar peeling but only on the
short straps which go around the strap eyelets.
That aside, I'm finding the list very interesting and useful.
