John, that's not stink. That's the "new" smell everybody lusts for.

=====================================
From: "John Hermanson" <omtech@xxxxxxxxx>
That is supposed to be what makes whale oil such a good lubricant. It
doesn't dry up/cake up with age. I know, I know, save the whales, and I
agree with that. But the bottle of oil I've got goes back to my days at
Nikon, and throwing it away, not using it, would be too much of a waste.
And it sure does stink!

| Bravo! Lex, you are sooooo right on this. This has been my experience
| exactly, even with our beloved OMs- put them on a shelf and in 5 years
when
| you go to use them there's a good chance *something* may be wrong with
them,
| but use them and care for them, they'll soldier on and on and on.....
| Just like some of us have been saying - stop wondering and discussing ad
| nauseum how many variations of lensmount screws were used, and the dates
of
| their introduction, and actually GO OUT AND USE THOSE OMs! :)
