Hi,
thanks for all your comments on my "difficult" problem on which lens to
dispose.
I won't bury any of them. Instead, I will do some tests under different light
conditions in order to find out how they perfom.
I solved the problem of lens-caps (that many of you have, obviously) by buying
a number of these thin plastic devices constructed by Olympus for that purpose.
;-) I found quite a number of original bodycaps as well as front and rear
lens caps at a local store for around 1-2 $ each. They DO have more of them,
for almost any camera brand you wish.
Regards
Bernd
