Thanks for that! Now I just need to add the Katz Eye screen to the budget -
does anyone know why Olympus doesn't produce such spilt screens for their
digital cameras? The 1-13 was the default one for the OM system.

Not a bad idea actually. I had considered getting 300mm something but
thought it would be too close to my 50-200mm. But I have heard good stories
about that T lens, will put it in my *bay search.
