Chris,
I agree with earlier comments. There are good deals to be had on Olympus
equipment. The 24 f/2.8 has recently been dropping in used pricing and can
usually be bought for $125-160, which isn't bad. As always, the faster 24/2
is quite a bit more expensive and physically larger. The 21s, both the f/2
and f/3.5 are harder to find and much more expensive, but a worthy find. I
love my 21/2 and use it constantly.
Just keep looking. Check out Skip William's site for ebay historical
information. It's very helpful. (www.skipwilliams.com)
Good hunting.
