Hi, Zuiks! I've been back for a while, just lurking. It was *really* interesting to learn how Zuikos reproduce in the dark corners of those dark camera bags. :-)
I have some lenses for sale that I don't use any more.  I do better with a 
rangefinder camera than an SLR under most conditions, especially available 
light. So I've gone to Leica for much of my shooting.  If you'd like to see 
what I've been up to, check out my Web site at http://www.2alpha.net/~pklein.
I want to give the list first shot at these lenses before I resort to Ebay. 
You can see pictures of the lenses at:

This link brings up a directory listing--the file names should be obvious. There's also some Leica screw-mount stuff there.
The Zuiko lenses are all older single-coated lenses which are a little soft 
wide open, but fine at normal picture-taking apertures.  I have happily 
used them for standard outdoor photography and flash.  They all take 49mm 
filters.  Please note that my descriptions are "full-disclosure" rather 
than used-car sales-speak.  Prices do *not* include shipping--I will add 
the actual shipping cost once I know where the buyer is.  If you don't like 
the price, make me an offer.
Here's what I've got:

** 50mm f/1.4 G.Zuiko, SC, S/N 366,3xx. Great glass, mechanics smooth and feel like new, cosmetics Exc++. Only a little minor brassing on the f-stop ring. There may be a small amount of dust inside. No fog, no fungus, diaphragm smooth and snappy with no oil on the blades. Include front and rear cap, Olympus slip-on rubber lens hood that also fits the 50/1.8 and 35/2.8. Price $65.00.
** 35mm f/2.8 E.Zuiko, SC, S/N 132,2xx. Good glass, mechanics smooth, 
f-stop ring action feels a little worn but works fine, "user condition" 
cosmetics.  There is a ding in the filter ring which has been 
straightened--you can see evidence of this in the front view picture above 
the word "Auto."  One tiny cleaning mark on the edge of the front element, 
by the number "1" in the serial number, and a small amount of dust. The 
focusing ring has been reglued, resulting in a 1.5mm gap where the two ends 
of the rubber ring come together underneath the lens when mounted on the 
camera (not shown in pictures).  All this sounds worse than it really 
is.  No fog, no fungus, diaphragm smooth and snappy with no oil on the 
blades. Include rear cap and a generic screw-in rubber lens hood.  Price 
$50.00.
** 100mm f/2.8 E.Zuiko, SC, S/N 126,7xx.  Great glass, mechanics 
smooth.  The lens was dropped (before I bought it) resulting in a ding on 
the side of the silver ring at the bottom of the lens. You can see this in 
one of the pictures.  Despite this, the lens performs fine at standard 
outdoor apertures, mounts smoothly, and both the f-stop ring and focusing 
ring have a "nearly-new" feel.  Includes front and rear cap, Rokinon UV 
filter, and Olympus rubber screw-in lens hood that also fits the 
85/2.  Price $125.00.
Please email me if interested.

Thanks,
