I have posted about this before, but this is along the same subject lines -
Oly USA and "parts".
If Oly USA turn out to be as helpful for these lens parts down the road as
they were for an OM MD socket cover I wouldn't count on any.
Their reply to my inquiry at the time was (in effect) "Thank you for your
interest in [Oly products] ... we are sorry we can not repair ("Repair"? Who
said anything about "repair"? I asked for a *part*) your item as it is too
old .....".
I wrote to Oly Japan (They said, "sorry [about Oly'usa] - is your OM black
or chrome?") and had the part in the mail a couple of weeks later - free.

All Olympus parts for Canada now come from Olympus America. If they don't
have it, you can't get it.
