If you are good with you hands....? The plastic in milk bottles makes an excellent difuser. How r u getting on with the oly....Have been using an 8080 for a few years now.

Hi John
         I love the C8080 , it has a fantastic lens. I get great macro shots with it. I find the olympus housing a bit flimzy, and as you can see find getting parts a bit hard. I ordered the difusser on line from a few places but they keep coming back saying waiting for order to come in. I'll try the milk bottle, even tough I've tried the boxes from diving masks. ???
thanks again
