I have a 35mm 2.0 on layaway at the local camera store. When I first saw
it there was no pric/e tag on it, but the sales person put one for 169
dollars on it. Foolishly I di not put it on laway right then. When I went
back the greedy owner had upped the price to 289 dollars, I got him to come
back down but only to 200 dollars. It seems like a good lens, any
experiences? There is a 35-105 zuiko as well for 150 dollars. My question
is: is this a genuine olympus lens, or is it manufactured by a third party
and tagged as an olympus? And is the zoom lens any good? If so, I may get
it. Plus I would like an OM4T, but a friend who fixes cameras says that
the little black deal on the lens mount invariably breaks and costs big
bucks to fix. Any comments? Then I have an 85mm 2.0 which has flecks of
black coating inside the barrel, does this affect the picture taking
capabilities? Also I have an old 135mm singlecoated zuiko with oil on the
diaphragm blades, is it worth fixing for 60 bucks, or should I look for a
replacement?
Thanks all, this is my first posting here.
