That's a lot of gear for the dishwasher . I think you should strap them on
top the SUV and head for the carwash. 8-)

pollen that's turned the world yellow hereabouts. Then we got hazy sunshine
through a fairly heavy cloud cover, making for really nice outdoor lighting.

a-blooming here on the Hiwayman Estate, I went out and shot a couple of
rolls of Provia 100F of the posies. In the process, of course, I got damp
and muddy, and the OM-4Ti, MD2 and the (until this morning) like new 90/2
Zuiko macro are now covered with bits of leaves, grass, flower petals, dead
and/or dying bugs, all stuck in the mud that came off my hands onto the
focusing and aperture rings of the lens, around the shutter release on the
motor drive, and on the exposure compensation ring and other places on the
body. And there's now a more or less general coating of new yellow pollen
that came drifting down.

> By the way, I use the hood for the 135/4.5 Zuiko macro on the 90/2. It
works like it was intended for this purpose. Was it? I'm too tired and
dirty from crawling around in the yard to look it up.

> But my primary question and the reason for this post regards cleaning up
the gear. I'm not so dumb that I don't know I'm supposed to remove the lens
from the body, then put the body cap on and put the front and rear caps on
the lens before I put them in the dishwasher. But should I take the NiCd
pack off the motor drive and wash it separately? And what cycle should I
use, regular or pot-scrubber? And which detergent, regular or
lemon-scented?
