Hmmm, thinking about it . . .
OK, thought about it for approximately 5 picoseconds.
Sorry, cannot part with them. Can't seem to get them much farther than
about 10 feet from the camera bag.
My camera bag is black, a fitting color for what has become somewhat like a
"black hole." [Maybe Hotel California too ??] Once something enters, it
never permanently leaves. I am able to extract a few things at a time
using considerable energy, and only for short periods within a limited
region of the bag. Then they get sucked right back in again. I predict
collapse when at least one of every Zuiko plus one of every OM single-digit
body finally crosses its event horizon. Not gravitational collapse, but me
from trying to carry it all. In the mean time, I keep telling the other
half that it works like a black hole. Once in, it can never be permanently
extracted.

I've got 3 genuine Olympus body caps, one with the very rare pinhole
modification. I'd be quite happy to swap them for your 50/1.4s. Just
think how much less weight you'd have to lug around if you used these
lightweight synthetic polymer caps instead of all that bulky glass &
metal. And then there's the space saving. And you'd be much closer to
the spirit of the OM system too (light weight, compact size). Go on,
you know it makes sense.
