As I recall, Clint and I did cherry pick that lot then the seller
decided no more of that. Sorting parts can be a full time job, then you
end up warehousing them anyway. Over the years I separated my excess
parts even further into separate boxes of mounts, filter rings,
diaphragm / focus rings and then Misc. by prefix. That was in the day
of different Olympus management and people giving old parts away instead
of a supervised crushing of them.
