Sorta both. When the 4 was on the shelf, it had a price of $300 on it. The
300 Zuiko was, I believe, also $300. I remember telling Olaf I was sure I
could get it for less than $250 and was very pleased to get it for $150.
When they shipped the lens to olaf, a filter was also sent separately, got
lost, they resent. Both eventually showed up.
I like dealing with them, just don't ever pay the sticker.
Midwest Photo is like that too. I've gotten to know guys in 35mm dept.
quite well. They invite me behind the counter so I can look lots closer at
stuff. Lots of fun, especially when customers come in and I start answering
questions!
Every time I drive from Dayton to Cleveland I make sure I stop in both
stores!!!!!
