Ouch. I'm happy to say that all the 300s I've come in contact with have
not been glued. Perhaps the ones I say at Olympus trying the patience
of the techs were an anomaly. Speaking of lens defects....that reminds
me that about a month ago, a customer in Norway sent me his 250 f2 due
to sticky focus ring and poor focus issues. I put the lens on my test
OM-2 and tried to focus out the back window. Focusing wide open on a
reasonably flat plane (a row of flat bushes) only a central circle was
sharp. The worlds most expensive "lens baby" ? The only defect I can
come up with is that it has a separated element which makes the lens
"beyond repair" (no parts available, and the elements were super
expensive when they were available).
