Well, at last I've updated my page on the Zuiko Lens Ebay auctions at
http://www.skipwilliams.com/olympus/olympus_top.htm
The auction data now contains 2965 auctions, up from about 1300 before.
You can read the disclaimers on the page, but basically I'm not going to
apologize for the incompleteness of the data. Don't use it for
comprehensive trend analysis. The data isn't good enough for that. It
doesn't contain condition, black/silvernose, MC/SC, NIB, etc. So its caveat
emptor on its use.
As I slogged through the data, I ignored a lot of the auctions over the past
year because I didn't really want (for example) another 100 auctions for
28/3.5's or 50/1.8's. It takes quite a bit of time to go through the
auction data and clean it up, deleting auctions that aren't for one lens
alone verifying that the auction descriptions are correct, etc..
But I think it's served it's purpose for many of us, and the updated market
data should help in the future.
The graphs are a bit different, and better I think.
Also, I could use a few more data points on the big white lenses and the
rarer stuff like the 1000/11, 24 Shift, or 8mm/2.8. If anyone has private
sale data or auctions that I missed, please email me with details and I'll
incorporate it into another, terse update.
I'll probably keep track of some of those big and rare lenses going forward,
and some of the rarer Pen F lenses, but otherwise there won't be anymore
wholesale updates.
