Hmmm....
BTW, there are a couple of lens caps sitting on my desk in Felton, but I don't
know which is to the 200 and which the 80-200. We need to figure out the
logistics of getting the right one to you.

I'm going to have to look into some of the newer u4/3 bodies. I've gone back to
carrying the k3 on bike rides. There's too much difference in image quality
between the u4/3 and the k3iii body for photos I care about and too little
between it and my phone for ones I don't.
