Gary,
Thanks for the response. Glad to hear they've all got
the floating element. The lens I'm considering has a very
low serial#. BTW, Can't say enough about your Om Lens
test page. I use it all the time...

We recently proved that to be wrong. It was a case of Olympus marketing
not consistently listing a feature that was in the lens from the very
beginning. They've done that many a time for a variety of lenses.

Very much so for close-up work, esp. with regards to corner performance.
