Okay, so maybe I spoke too soon without giving it a chance. Reversing over
the lens is a plus that I hadn't noticed. Of course that takes me back to
the 35RC, as its hood reverses over the lens. And you won't catch me saying
anything bad about a 35RC :-)

Actually, I've kind of grown used to gripping the edge of my screw-in rubber
hood to turn the polarizer. But the part about mounting faster is true.
Maybe I'll come to like it; who knows?
This list is famous for talking me into liking new things. Hey, after
several months of ownership, I'm actually starting to like some things about
the C5050.

Yes, but on the Oly list, metal is always better :-)
