No hair on the body, only on the head, feet and tail. His owner told me that he likes to pull blankets over himself, and sleeps in their bed. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/album170/P9072469CrestedChin-w.jpg.html> E-510, 100/2.8 OM Zuiko (200mm equivalent) My verdict on the manual focus lenses on this camera is that they are fun to play with, but very frustrating to try to do anything "real" with. Focusing on the stock viewfinder screen with the rather minified view is hit and miss. The manual lenses do work very nicely for static subjects, especially with magnified Live View. Assuming you can hold steady enough to focus, or are using a tripod, and that light isn't shining onto the LCD. At any rate, a used 40-150 digital Zuiko lens is on order--the older, faster, heavier one that is supposedly sharper. --Peter
