[OM] OM goodies for Sale (Australia)

[Dr Peter Gilbert]

Hi all

time to thin the OM collection (only a little though!!)  to make way for some new toys.

I have recently acquired a PowerMac G4 and a copy of Apple Final Cut Pro, but the "boss" says I have too many toys and need to sell some before I can buy a new DV camcorder.

Oh well.....

This was a tough call -  I have never had to part with any of my OM babies before.

I have decided I can't part with any of my OM-4Ti's (I have 4 now!) and my collection of OM-2n's and OM-1n's has too much sentimental value.

As per normal protocol, I am offering them here to other list members first.

Here's the list.....

---

1.      OM 2 Spot Program with F. Zuiko 50mm F1.8   asking AU$490

        *       Full clean/service by John at Shutterbox (incl new foam)

                about 3 months ago
      *       Olympus lens cap
        *       Body 9+ (slight rub marks near strap lugs)

        *       Normal brassing on film box-end holder on back

       

2.      OM 2 Spot Program (body only) asking AU$440

        *       Full clean/service by John at Shutterbox   (incl new foam)

                about 3 months ago
      *       Olympus body cap

        *       Body 8/8+ (brassing at base of lens mount)

        *       Normal brassing on film box-end holder on back

        *       I purchased these two OM-2S bodies about a year or so back

                but find I like the multi spot memory of the OM-4Ti's too much,

                so these don't get used. The manual spot meter function is nice,

                but after 10+ years with OM-4's they just don't suit the way I

                like to work.

3.      Zuiko 300mm F4.5 asking  AU$850

        *       Will be back from a full clean/service by John at Shutterbox in about 2 weeks

        *       Cosmetically and optically 9+

        *       no scratches, dents, cleaning marks etc - beautiful!

        *       includes front and rear Olympus caps
    *       includes tripod collar
  *       includes Hama 72mm Skylight 1A filter
   *       I *don't* have the original hard case for this, nor the instruction sheet

        *       this is my second (spare) 300mm F4.5, and I haven't used it

                in the 6 months I have owned it. I snapped it up because it took me

                nearly 3 years of searching to get my first 300 F4.5, but having two

                of these in the cupboard *is* probably a bit excessive....

4.      Zuiko 24mm F2.8  asking AU$330

       

        *       Cosmetically and optically 9++.

                basically LNIB other than brassing on the actual bayonet flange.

        *       No marks on glass, barrel, aperture ring etc.  

        *       original case
   *       original Olympus caps front and rear
    *       original lens hood

        *       original instruction sheet

        *       original box

        *       I have owned this lens since new

        *       I love the 24mm for landscapes, but acquired a mint Zuiko 24mm F2

                about 2-3 years back and haven't used my original F2.8 since.

                It is a very compact lens and would make a nice addition to a travelling kit along

                with other 49mm filter diameter OM lenses.

Please respond to me off-list at peterg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if interested. I am prepared to ship to the US if required (buyer to pay postage/insurance), but I'd like to give Australian buyer(s) first chance as I know how frustrating it is trying to get good OM gear this side of the Pacific....

cheers
