Are you guys dead sure about the focus direction of Cosina-made OM mount lenses
sold separatly from the OM-2000 body? There's a
German language guy (foto-walser) with e*ay auctions and all his Cosina-OM lens
shots show OUR focus direction, not the Nikon focus
direction. Of course some of his Cosina-OM auctions also have pictures of
Nikon-index prong lenses so this isn't the best
barometer. Still, even those prong-equipt photos show Cosinas focussing like
Zuikos, not Nikkors.
I searched on "Cosina für OM". (fur with the German double-dot over the U will
probably not come through the server intact.)
Cosina 70-210 4.5-5.6 focussing like Zuiko: ebay #2931701710
Cosina 20mm 3.8 for OM (pictured with a Nikon indexing prong), yet focussing
like a Zuiko ebay # 2933199397; ditto for the 28-105
f2.8-3.8 at ebay #2931701828 and Cosina 24mm f2.8 at ebay #2933199410.
Cosina 19-35 f3.5-4.5 focussing like a Zuiko:ebay #2931701909 and lastly the
100mm f3.5 Cosina macro at ebay #2933199410.
Curious but not criticising,

lenses for focusing. For me, that's a deal-killer.
