Here comes another curiosity question - what is the proper way to grip a
lens when mounting or dismounting from an OM body? One needs to apply a
little torque to seat or unseat the lens - should you hold on to the focus
ring, turning it to one stop or the other? Or try to grasp the mount body
(the part the DOF preview and unlatch buttons mount to)? On my other
bayonet mount slr there is adequate grip area on the non-rotating or body
portion of the lens for this not to be a problem, but the very compact
Zuiko lenses don't provide much solid grip surface..... I don't like
pushing against the focusing helicoid stops, but that's what seems to 'fall
easily to hand'. Advice will be much appreciated, as always.
