Hello fellow Zuikoholics
In the last couple of days I have had e-mail from an OM list member in India
regarding something I posted.
With his agreement, I send it for everybody to read; his letter first, then my
reply.

Subject: DOF button.
Hi BRIAN,
You can hold that DOF button down by making a VELCRO STRIP.
Use the Soft end for a long enough band to go around the LENS of choice.
Fix a small piece of the ROUGH Grippy VELCRO at one end on the reverse
side.
Put a small coin on the DOF button and now YOU can wrap it around tight
and lock with the VELCRO GRIP.
Should work just fine without damaging any part of the LENS.
Have a try.

Hello Sunil,
That's a great idea. I think I'd be inclined to use a stiff fabric like bonded
plastic strapping for the part of the strap that goes over the button. One or
two of the lenses I have, have a DOF button with a strong spring that takes
quite a bit of pushing down. Ordinary soft fabric probably may not cope, as
you clearly realise when you suggest a coin.
I think we don't have a coin small enough to fit on most Zuiko lenses.
Would you like me to post this in the Digest for you?
Brian
