It should all work out. The 35-80/2.8 was the last really serious lens
churned out on the Zuiko assembly lines, and, with the rave reviews it has
received, you would expect Olympus to provide some support for one of their
trophy lenses. ;-)
Plus, there's also this little thing called United States law which requires
companies to provide support for manufactured items for a period of time.
If that period for photo lenses is the typical ten years, Mark should be
covered. ;-)
Olympus America, Inc. should either have the needed elements in stock or be
able to get them from Japan.

It's their business. They know at the very least (even the most
inexperienced
worker, if given the responsibilty to price stuff), to look up values new &
used. The problems with the elements may have affected the price, as they
might not even be available. Hopefully it works out though.
