[OM] Re: Zuiko 24mm f3.5mm shift lens

[Brian Swale]

Marc,  

You've done us proud.

That photo subject I've seen before on a Michael Freeman book I think - only  he used it in a demonstration of depth of field, when working with low  available light.

There is one lesson to be learned from this - assuming that the lens was  already split when that photo was taken. And it echoes what my favourite  retailer has told me about a very good lens he had that had a chip in the front  element. It seemed to make no appreciable difference to the result. (Fungus  will though).

Otherwise - I am horrified  about the tale. Adds another dimension to one's  perception of the bounds to which some people will go.
