First tell Bruno hi for me. Second...I have a friend in Atlanta who has an olympus 50 mounted on a plaque on his wall....the lens was fried when a space shuttle vented some LOX before lift-off....it was on a remote camera. I forget the exact circumstances, but the lens is really neat looking...really neat etching on it. It was a UPI lens and the guys who covered the launch got the plaque made for the photog who owned the lens.
