Well, you *do* have to look quite hard! :-))
"As described, but be aware, these are not original Olympus products"
But I couldn't in honesty give a negative, because he hadn't described them
as Olympus caps, and the photos were accurate. He was very adept at making
me think I had seen what I wanted to see.

Agreed, 100% does not mean zero. However, of nearly 8,000 feedbacks only 4
are negative and none of those complain of counterfeit merchandise. There
are also 8 neutrals where one of them questions whether the item (which
one?) was real or genuine. I don't recall the exact wording.
I didn't see anything at all from Piers screaming about counterfeit Olympus
front caps. :-)
