"OLYMPUS ZUIKO 50mm/1.8 reflex lens. BRAND NEW, still factory sealed in
shrink wrap. All packing and papers in original box. LENS HAS NEVER BEEN
OPENED " (picture showing shrink-wrapped lens attached)
The best I can remember, I've bought six new Zuickos over the years -
none came shrink-wrapped. This sounds like a fraud to me. Am I
mistaken? >>
Reflex, eh? Only the 500mm is a reflex lens!
I bought a new in box 50mm f/1.8 that sure wasn't shrink wrapped. Just came
in a small plastic bag. BTW, the interesting thing about the 50mm was that
the box said F.Zuiko MC and the lens was labled MC. We all know you can't
have F.Zuiko *plus* MC. So I bought it as a collectable. That is about my
budget for collectables :-)
When they are strange things like this in eBay descriptions, it signals
"buyer beware."
