You haven't dealt with the Olympus parts department have you? :-) All this
7 year parts supply is great in theory, but in reality it doesn't work that
way, at least not for Olympus. In my latest attempt at getting parts, I
tried getting a part for the 35/shift, which last time I checked is still
being sold by Olympus. Despite that fact, their on-line inventory system
claims the parts are discontinued. The parts department manager has been
trying to get parts for me directly from Japan for 3 months. Still no luck.
I thik we've got a lot less than 7 years to go before no new replacement
parts are available.
