[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 704367, member: 46690"] Thank you for the thoughtful and extremely thorough reply. It is much appreciated. Let's see, to answer your questions: 1. I did realize the lens pictured was not an Olympus, but being in a rush at the time I just copied the first picture I saw with the tab I was trying to describe. As that was the salient feature I needed info on, I didn't think what lens it was attached to was critical. But...you've got a good eye :) 2. I hadn't checked eBay, partly because I'm getting tired of a certain household fixture saying "You bought ANOTHER piece of camera gear??" But I guess I will now. Even she can't argue with a lens that's 2 stops faster? Right? Right...? 3. I'm using a Photodiox Pro adapter. It fits all my other "regular" OM Zuiko lenses...the ones without the baffle. I don't know that I want to Dremel it and risk its current ability to connect the other3 lenses to my Nikon. Thank you again so very much, especially for pointing out the availability of better lenses (that hopefully will be available without that baffle!) All the best :) [/QUOTE]
