Olympus bluff ppl, say their OMD1 + 12-40 f2.8 pro splashproof, freeproof, bla bla.
Mine just got slight splash from the pool, someone splashed me, boom, eyeview got fogged, shutter failed to work, nothing works.
Went to svc center, tells me I've to incur charges min $170 to open it. Asked if can help calibrate to the pro lense, another $170 min charge. Bull... Rather stick to Canon (same splash, but nothing happened)
It's in the SVC center now my confidence in Olympus in waning, though it's much sharper than my Canon + legendary lenses (tried side by side last weekend)
