Just checked mine. All elements/groups clear. (S/N 129###)
I suspect that as the Zuiko lenses on the market get "older", we'll be
seeing more fungus and de-cemented elements. A little over a year ago I
picked up a tall display/bookshelf unit (at Ikea) to use as storage for my
equipment. I had been keeping everything in Pelican cases (which was a good
idea when I lived in earthquake country), but I know there can be problems
with a storage environment which is too closed (and not religiously
monitored). Since my house is air conditioned, I get a little circulation
of low humidity air through the cabinet, which is good.
The other advantage to this unit are the glass front doors. Purely
mental...I figure if I see the gear every day, I'll be reminded that I
really should be using it!
