For the Canadians amongst us, you maybe interested to know that as of Aug 1
all Olympus photographic products in Canada are being handled by Olympus USA.
However, Carsen will continue to handle the scientific and industrial Olympus
products. This information was given to by a Carsen employee who works in the
scientific division. I guess that explains some of the "dumping" that Carsen
has been doing lately. Hopefully with this change the Canadian prices will
become more in line with the USA ones.
