Actually, if the lens is in good shape, it's probably underpriced (i.e., the
winning bidder got a good deal). If the lens is pristine, the winning bidder
got a *great* deal.

The "list" price for the Zuiko 350/2.8 is $11,040.00 U.S. from Olympus.

B&H's website lists *their* new price for this lens at $6,299.95 U.S. B&H
probably has the most aggressive new retail pricing on the planet for this
lens, as well as the 250/2.0. I suppose it's the best example of a "street"
price for this lens.
