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,
