Thanks for the info. I'll pass it on to my friend.
Anyhow, large format is a little too much for him. He merely requires
pictures for reference. You know the kind where if he sees an interesting
building, he'll pull out his camera and take a picture, rather than
detailed meticulous preparation as large format would entail. Anyway since
he already has an OM1, the 35mm shift will meet his needs perfectly.

for 300 and below and 600 are camera store prices
350-500 are normal ebay prices. Tom Scales at
www.zuikoholic.com is offering one for $435 and he is
perhaps the best guy to get OM stuff from since he is
honest about grading, good about pricing, and fair on
his dealings. But most anyone on the list will be fair
in dealing with you, so if someone offers a better
price, take it. Tom just has a website and perhaps the
most stuff :-)
24 Shift:
2000 new
1000-1600 used
This lens is pretty rare used, but there is one on
ebay currently and some at B&H. 1000 is a very low
price you probably won't be able to find and it is
very nearly impossible to find it for below that.
Since it is so rare 1200-1500 are typical ebay prices.
1600 is KEH asking price for ex+ condition.
