Stopped in at Midwest Photo in Columbus, OH today on my way to Cleveland.
WOW! They had just received a number of Olympus items and were inventorying
and pricing them. (I got to help with a few suggestions on prices)! (:>)!!
As usual, you can email me for more info, or contact the store : Call:
614-261-1264 Fax: 614-261-1637 E-Mail: mpx@xxxxxxxx If you email, or call,
ask for Abdi, he photocopied all the prices we've arranged, so we should all
be on the "same page". Here goes:
1. OM-4 w/50/1.8 $265 leather loose at top corners @ lens mount, screw
inserted in socket for Grip 1, missing MD cover (had Winder 2 attached,
brassing on back cover in usual places, battery checked OK, looks very nice
otherwise I'd put this as 8- 8.5. (:>)
2. OM-2n w/50/1.4 and shoe 4 $299 chrome, easy 8+ in appearance,
battery
check light BLINKED, missing MD cover, had Winder 2 attached.
3. OM-1MD w/50/1.8 and Fix Shoe $200 no battery, could not check
meter,
has engraving of owner name on bottom, otherwise 8.5
4. 100/2.8 $100 some brassing on aperture ring, has
metal Kalimar hood
(:>)
5. 200/4.0 $89 slight brassing, 2 dings on hood,
filter ring
unaffected (:>)
6. 35-70/4.0 $159 looked OK, I was starting to run out of
time
7. 28/3.5 $59 has non OM rubber hood, clean, very
clean
8. Winder 2 (actually 2) $100 both looked in good shape,
checked them on
bodies before removing, each functioned, no MD covers inside
9. T32 $89 A few marks, but no serious scratches,
works, tested (:>)
8-8.5
10. T20 $49 Looks good, also tested OK 8.5
11. Bounce Grip 2 $85 brassing on bracket at
attachment knob, else very
good, excellent shape, tested w/T32 (:>)
12. Flash Extender $20 in good shape
13. M Grip Cord $10 OK
14. Type 4 Connector $20 Had to give Abdi a break
somewhere!
15. Vivitar 135/2.8 ??? didn't do more than see it.
Abdi does not like
non-manufacturers lenses (he sold me a Tamron 70-210 4.5-5.6,
an
autofocus Tamron 70-210/4.0. and a Tamron 28/2.5 for $10 each)! He
typically sells Tamron mounts to me
for $10. Maybe $20 for the
Vivitar??
16. Kiron 7 element 2X TC ??? see comments above
17. Kiron 70-210/4.0 ??? Don't buy it, cloudy front
element!!
18. 75-150/4.0 $89 has original case.
Can't believe this one hasn't
sold. The other one, no case and $149, was sold. This lens is
really
nice!
19. M.15V charger 1 ???? Looks OK, no way to test
20. Body caps, rear lens caps ???? 2 each
21. T.6 cord (I believe) ???? This is the coiled one,
I ran out of time.
Abdi would likely sell for $10
I will be going back through Columbus on Thursday, the 17th, likely ~5:00 or
a little later. If anyone wants me to re-examine or pickup and pay, let me
know by Wednesday night. OR, you can call my cell phone at (937) 609-5264.
Also, Abdi told me that someone on the list called in and bought a lens
recently. Abdi told that person that I own part of the store! Geez!!! I
sure hope that person knows Abdi was joking!!!
A few more notes about Abdi regarding non-manufacturers lenses. I recently
bought a Sigma 24/2.8 AF for Nikon from Abdi and a Sigma 90/2.8 AF for Nikon
for $50 each, both are in excellent shape. If any Tamron, Sigma or Tokina
lenses are offered by Midwest, talk to Abdi about them. He will likely sell
them for EXCELLENT PRICES.
