I got it with a three-part split-on-lens-extension cap, which makes a world of difference in usability, too. Not having to deal with the cap makes it a very comfortable walk-around. Highly recommended.

I really hated the EX1 at first, all down to that screw on cap, after about six weeks or so I replaced it with the try-cap, it was like having a brand new camera all over again, wouldn't change it now except perhaps for an EXII if it ever appears.

In case you are not aware there is a hidden bonus at the wide end if you shoot raw. Samsung's raw is not supported by Aperture so I convert them to DNG with Adobe's free converter and if you compare the field of view of the jpeg to the raw there's a lot more included in the raw file. I understand this is something to do with lens distortion correction in the in-camera software. Looks fine to me but then perhaps I'm not picky enough. I don't know if this happens if you use Samsung's supplied raw conversion software.

Enjoy.
