This is just a hypothesis, but I would guess that non-IF, non-FREE
lenses have elements fixed with relation to each-other, so there is no
air movin between the glass surfaces. IF and FREE lenses do have
elements moving WRT others, so there is also air-flow, and thus an
influx of dust.

From my experience, separate cartridges really become useful if you
print a lot of images that are heavy in one color. Printing lots of
yellow flowers will run out the yellow quicker than some other colors,
for example. But for general printing, as Doug said, it isn't that
big of a deal.

The slanted top plate has a dial that surrounds an LCD. By spinning

general fault with a true dial like the MZ-5n is that it has a limited
