Excellent! I'm glad to hear it arrived quickly. Use it well and enjoy it, the DA21 is a delightful lens.
I don't like the standard "hood" or cap, but it's little bother to replace them with something more normal. My lens hood is from an Olympus OM system Zuiko 28mm f/3.5, fits the lens like it was made with the DA21 in mind. And fifty bucks from Amazon.com? Hmmm... Annie Leibovitz "A Photographer's Life" is about $48. Now that would be a sensible way to soak up some found money ... ;-) best, Godfrey On Sep 27, 2007, at 10:04 PM, John Celio wrote: > The DA21 Limited I won in the Pentaxian.com contest arrived yesterday! > > I'm still in a state of shock over it all, actually.
