The price of $113.5 is high if you just want to buy a 9 condition you can
get it at below $50. But I'm very happy with the picture from this lens, at
F5.6 it already gives very sharp result, I like it more than my 135/2.8MC.
I'm not quite understand, Gary's report shown that with 2x-A it gives A-
wide open but the lens alone gives only "C" wide open.

> By the way, Gary Reese's lens tests for the Zuiko 135/3.5 MC indicate
that, for a Zuiko, its quality is relatively mediocre at the wider apertures
(its best performance is at F/16). The 100/2.8 (and especially the 2.0!)
are better performers. $113.50 for this lens (even "brand new") is probably
as much as it's truly worth.
