No, no, no, you've got it all wrong.  The most useless items that Olympus
has ever brought to market are all of their self effacing 'ever-ready'
cases.

                We all know the list favorites. You know, the 90mm macro,
the 50mm F2 
                macro, the 350mm F2.8, etc. I was wondering:

                1. Is there an Oly lens or accessory that you wonder why you
bought 
                it because it is not that great?  That is, not that great.

                2. Is there an Oly lens or accessory that is just fine, but
you find 
                that you just don't use it. That is, just done use it much.

                My nomination for #1 is the 2-13 focussing screen added to
my OM4T. 
                After pretty extensive looking through it in dim light with
various 
                lens, I'll be darned if I can tell much difference in the
brightness 
                or ease of focus. It does look prettier than the ground
glass in my 
                OM1N, that is, you do not see ground glass grain.

                My nomination for #2 is the Varimagni finder, and the 135mm
focal length lens.

                Any thoughts?

                Please control your addiction and the pleas for free
equipment. :-)
