I know of a Tokina 500mm that's available locally. No filters, no case, but
the lens is in very nice condition. Shop wants $159 for it... I may be able
to talk him down some. Will check into if you're interested.

Subject: RE: [OM] Aftermarket Super Wide and 500mm mirror
:I'm interested in something in the 17 to 19mm range for my OM
:system and have
:to date been unsuccessful in finding the really wide Zuikos at
:an affordable price.
:quality results. I'm also looking for a 500mm mirror. Saw a
:Zuiko on ebay that had a starting point of $250 and that needed cleaning .
.
The 17mm and 500mm Tokina's are nice lenses. They only cost about a third of
the Zuikos.
The wide angle is a bit larger than the 18mm Zuiko. The mirror lens is a bit
smaller and lighter, and offers a very interesting extra: close focus (I
believe 1.5m). The Zuiko has a short focusing distance of 4m...
