I know, living dangerously and all... Actually, the lens is the least of
my worries since I carry the whole rig from the lens' handle. But, had
the 1.4XA (with that very vulnerable protruding front element) been
mounted between the 350 and the body this minor "incident" could have
been much worse. The problem is with the body (or body with converter)
coming adrift. The potential is there for a crunched Zuiko 1.4XA and/or
body/MD2 combo though. Needs to get fixed for sure...
