This is extremely interesting. As John H. recently posted,
almost all OM lenses are now discontinued. As I seriously
doubt if Olympus is keeping new lenses for use as spare parts,
this means that there are no parts for many lenses anymore.
Olympus' claim to provide service for 'X' years is disingenuous
at best.
