That is interesting, I wouldn't think that Gunz would willingly give up the
Olympus agency as I believe they handled the full range of Olympus gear
(e.g. medical equipment, microscopes) not just cameras. I never found the
Gunz sales staff to be very useful regarding OM gear, but the bloke that
handled the spare parts in Melbourne was very helpful on the few occasions I
dealt with him. I hope all the spares don't end up in a dumpster. Perhaps
they will have a fire sale of OM-4Ti, Om-3Ti and 90mm f2s !
