George A. writes, regarding the $202.50 paid for a camera case:

<< Who says Oly gear is not collectible? >>

That was a Winder Soft Case, stock #108317. It was first available in
the USA circa 1980, although an Olympus SIF 30 ring binder page of cases
(circa 1978 shows one). Lowest ever Dealer Price was $19.30 (1985).  It
is featured on page 8 of the "OM System silver brochure," the one that
first came out in perhaps 1987, reprinted in at least 1992 and still
distributed by Olympus America for free at last years PMA show. (Someone
recently paid $9.50 on eBay for that brochure!)

The Winder Soft Case was still on the Olympus America price list in
1995!  Dealer Cost: $35.00 Suggested List Price: $64.00

Wouldn't it be a hoot if it was on the year 2000 price list, too?  Maybe
it is time we all order them from John Hermanson!
