Glad the camera is still performing Johnny but I hate to say it again 
that I have a VIVITAR 28-70 mm macro that was on the front of an OM10

(actually two) that state it is damaged beyond economic repair!  I 
assume that the lens internals are distorted and hence the 
performance will be degraded.  The camera is still working fine 
although it has needed one major repair in the intervening years - it 
currently lives with an 85mmF2 Zuiko on it when the latter is not 
needed for the OM2SP.
