Okay, so *what* if I'm breaking the only-one-questions-at-a-time 
rule?!?!?  :-)

The OM-2 I just bought also came with a Vivitar 285 flash that's in pretty 
good shape but doesn't have a cable, any of the add-on lenses, or 
instructions.  'Nuther words, just the flash and battery holder.

While I was in my local used camera store, Used Camera Man tried to 
sell me a Zuiko multi-coated (didn't say "MC" but sure looked multi-coated 
when I looked at the front elements) 75-150mm two-touch zoom that's in 
pretty darned good shape (maybe E+ or thereabouts?).  I'd really rather 
get a mult-coated 100-200 (which he didn't have in stock), but when I 
asked him what the Vivitar 285 might be worth he replied, "About the 
same as this-here 75-150 lens!"

Uhhh....  I don't know anything about Vivitar flashes, so would someone 
in the know tell me whether or not that's a reasonable swap???

Thanks, yet again, for any advice you can provide.

Regards,

Chris
