I've got 3 genuine Olympus body caps, one with the very rare pinhole
modification.  I'd be quite happy to swap them for your 50/1.4s.  Just
think how much less weight you'd have to lug around if you used these
lightweight synthetic polymer caps instead of all that bulky glass &
metal.   And then there's the space saving.  And you'd be much closer to
the spirit of the OM system too (light weight, compact size).  Go on,
you know it makes sense.
