Hi,
Hold on to your seats, for I've found a true gem sitting in an Amsterdam
photo store for sale: the 100/2!
I was still hunting for a 49mm Oly lens cap when I dialed a store that
normally hardly has anything interesting at all, so great was my surprise
when I heard that someone turned in a complete pro Oly system (including a
T28, wish was already sold, grrr). The stuff which was there was really
cool, but most of it had rather high prices, only the 100/2 seems to have a
pretty good price. Everything looked in really nice state, and I think
everything still had the original boxes and manuals. This is more or less
what was there:
2 OM-4Ti (black) bodies, looked really nice and hardly any brassing ---> +/-
$660 each.
Olympus Bellows ---> +/- $190.
Olympus Double cable release ---> +/- $60.
F280 flash ---> $??? (not very cheap, don't remember the exact price).
Winder 2, some scratches ---> +/- $48
Winder 2, mint ---> +/- $60
50/3.5 Macro (MC) ---> +/- $210.
50/1.2 ---> +/- $330.
135/2.8 ---> $??? didn't check the price, if interested can check.
135/4.5 Macro ---> +/- $375.
100/2 ---> +/- $420.
Some uninteresting stuff (50/1.8, 2 OM-10 bodies ---> didn't check price).
Even though I haven't investigated the going prices of the 100/2 lens on
eBay, I briefly considered trying to make a quick buck by buying it and
selling it for more, but I decided against it, and instead I want to give
you guys a crack at it. So if anyone is interested in it, I'll pick it up
without making anyn profit. I'm not certain if this lens can be found for a
better price in the USA, but for European standards I think the price is
pretty good.
O.k., if anyone is interested in anything I'll help out (no ties with the
store).
For me, the quest for a 49mm Oly lens cap is still on :)
Cheers!
Olafo
