Re: I didn't need another 14-42 kit lens

Mine from Robert's didn't have the kit lens, just the body, but the kit box. The body is in every way as new as any store demo camera might be. Clean, neat, my lenses fit perfectly and all functions are good to go. Not sure about the warranty as I'm assuming Used Photo Pro is just the name of their e-bay outlet. The price was too good to pass up, otherwise I'd have bought used or from B&H.

Yes, my E-M10 was sold as a demo model but it looks new and clean.
I don't have any issue with the condition or appearance of the camera, lens, accessories or box.
It's just that pesky lens mount that's unacceptable.

It appears from your gear list that you have a nice assortment of both Panny and Oly lenses most if not all with metal mounts.
So just to confirm, you have no signs of metal fragments, filings, shavings or dust ?
And no galling, grinding, binding or scratching of the lens going on or off ?

If you don't mind could you post your partial SN# or MCS date code in the E-M10 lens mount thread ?
I'd like to find a correlation to "after a certain SN# are OK".
