Hi, I`ve tried as best I could to search through the old posts but I`ve
not found exact answers to these questions.

I some of my lenses and put it under a fluorecent light to check if they
got a greenish reflection which should indiacte MC.

This is what I found. My 35-105 (serial# 104018, what were they starting
at?) got a green reflection, the same has my 28mm f/2,8 (serial#
250318), but both my 50mm f/1,8 (one I think is silvernose(?) serial#
454429 and the other serial# 1028507) appears to be SC. I was almost
certain before I checked that the non-silvernose model were MC (haven`t
noticed any flare-problems, but haven`t tried too hard either). 

Another question.. A third 50mm f/1,8 that I got (don`t remember
serial#) got a rubber lens shade that appears to be stuck on the lens,
and this makes it a little bit longer, which I don`t like. Are the
rubber lens shade an aftermarket thing, or did they come this way from
the factory?

To round it off, I must say that after owning an OM-4 for a little while
I think higher of my OM-1. It probably is the minimalist in me speaking,
but it just feels nicer and cleaner and I don`t like having cameras
lying around that I don`t use most of the time (guess I`m not a
Zuikoholic then..) so maybe I should just sell the camera back to the
one I bought it from. I once saw a light brown leather for the black
OM-4 (don`t think it was at Morgan Sparks site), but I can`t find it
again, anybody got the link?

Sorry for the many and long questions. A search-engine that could search
all the years at once would be nice, but I`m grateful for the
mailinglist as it is.

Regards,
Arild E. Vengen
