Good news indeed!
And if you can spare it, go for the 12-40mm. I recently acquired one and

> We are over the worst of it now and

> A couple of years ago I helped my computer man who had significant

> fire).

> He has suggested an I7 (i7) machine, but with no more details

> I will appreciate more guidance as to ideal specifications

> A huge

> asked the guys who were dismantling the wreck of the house to extract a
> 3-drawer metal filling cabinet which contained about 5,000 selected
> colour slides, and some valuable documents, so that I could sift through

>
> I discovered 2 backup drives which I
> thought had been left on the top of my desk and therefore incinerated,
> but no, they had been heated - but.. One was mid 2013 and the other, in
> an aluminium case, mid 2014. We didn't try the former ( I want to some
> time) but the latter restored perfectly !! :-)

> I'm in the process of

> The worst camera etc losses are my E-1 (Ian Manners is sending me one,
> for which I will be everlastingly grateful) and my E-3 with DZ 14-54
> Mk1.
>
> As a replacement I am considering one of these as a possibility
