RE: [OM] Unknown Wide Zoom Oly Mount

[JOHN SCHEUERER]

Hi
 I think Samyang still does make an 18/28 4-4.5 zoom. I bought mine about a 
year and a half ago for $150.00 A couple of differences that I could see 
between theirs and the one shown on the German Ebay picture is the knurling 
on the rubber grip and the f stops are also reversed on the Samyang.
