Oh...the Zuiko lenses and OM bodies they have here - what a range!! But
they
are quite expensive for 2nd hand prices!! I'm still hoping to pick up a
21/2
somewhere.

I'll try the two above - maybe use my hair-dryer or something. I'm
pretty
sure I tried the switching between Auto and Battery Check too (there's a
different tone beep there??) but will try again. I bought a pair of
LR44's
and it drained that pretty quick - maybe I have to look hard for a pair
of SR44's instead.

Yup I'm going to go there on Saturday if the above procedures fail. It's
on
a train station I've not been to before (I've been in Tokyo only 2
months)
but I got a map from the Olympus Japan website.
