I honestly don't know about recovering your cost, as I've never seen a
Zuiko 250 f/2.0, but my 1996 Pop Photo Oct. issue list it @ $4299. That
is all I know other than if you do not buy it, given the chance I
probably would buy it. Supposedly, it's a great lens.
Do you, or anyone, know where one can buy a used 90mm f/2.0 Zuiko?
Good luck!!
