Dan:
I saw the ad too, and couldn't decide if it was a 1 or a 2. I believe
that they did not black out the "Zuiko" on the lens, only the Olympus
brand name.
BTW [and totally off-subject] the new Spiderman movie featured a MANUAL
FOCUS 35 mm. It's shocking in this day and age to think of all of the
*old fossils* still using MF <BG>. The producers probably couldn't get
any product placement dollars from N*k*n, C*n*n, or M*n*lt*.
