Hi Iwert,
Do you still teach at the Delft University of Technology?
Kamera Express is not too far off (Capelle aan de IJssel), they have
the E620 body only for 419 Euros
(http://www.kamera-express.nl/Digitale-reflexcameras/Olympus_cameras_en_accessoires/Alle_Olympus_Reflexcameras/Olympus_E-620_body_met_2jaar_garantie_Nederlands.htm).
9-18 for 444 and the 50 f2 macro for 539. That totals in 1412 Euros.
Happy hunting!
Bart
