The last 40/2 sold on eBay for about $270, if memory serves correct.
I agree with Skip's comments - you can get a great 50/1.8 AND a great
35/2.8, plus have money left over to buy more Zuiko toys.

Are you SURE you want the 40/2? Its definitely a collectors lens. Not as
sharp as the 50/1.8 or 50/2 Macro. But it's a small sucker. Expect to pay
$4-500 for one at market rates. If you're looking for a shooter's lens,
stick with the $30 50/1.8 or a 35/2.8.
