Subject: [OM] selling to the list and trouble w/ Olympus America
p.j. said: Now my problem with Olympus America. I called to get a tripod
collar, wh*ich several of you indicated I could buy for $19 from them.
Well, after being transfered to at leat 10 people, I had to settle for,
"Those items have been discontinued, and are no longer available." (I was
also looking for a rear lens cap to a 80/4 macro or 135/4.5 macro.) After
being transfered to every department and receiving a less than cordial
response from my request, I was not about to argue that they still make
and sell items (or is everything new old stock?) that require these
accessories. Can anybody help me out here?
--------------------------------------
Back in May 99, Kerry Frohling kindly sent me the advice that you may
need which was to call
the PARTS DEPARTMENT (800-622-6372). No one else will know what you're
talking about. After you get there still no one may know unless you
have a part number. Descriptions don't necessarily work very well with
untrained folks. I have spoken with one guy there who seems to know
what he's doing so maybe you'll have better luck next time.

The part number for the tripod mounting ring for 85-250 lens
(and others?) and telescoping close-up tube is ZD303100.
