I also managed to get some copies from local Olympus distributor, if anyone
has difficulty in getting a copy locally just email me. I will only charge
US$3 to cover the shipping/packing cost or just send me one of your favorite
photo (it would be great if there is a beautiful stamp on the letter). I
have around 10 copies, FCFS!
