Hi Brian,
It is indeed wonderful to meet someone who is doing the same thing ie
looking for these 1.8 "Fangs". I do this for fun by combing through local
flea markets and second hand shops but seldom thru Ebay because of shipping
costs. Having said that, I just tried to bid for 8 pieces of 50mm's for
parts; it was chased up to about US$86 I think. Too much for me. Do you have
any (junk) for exchange? The parts could be combined to make a good one.
I have the following to deal with:
1. 50mm f1.8 F.Zuiko Auto-S OM system Olympus 1545571
No front element.
2. 50mm f1.8 Zuiko Auto-S Olympus OM System Made in Japan
No filter ring
No lens release tab
No front and rear elements
3. 50mm f1.8 Zuiko MC Olympus OM System Auto-S Japan
No front lens assembly
No filter ring
4. 50mm f1.8 Zuiko MC Olympus OM System Auto-S Japan
No front lens assembly
No filter ring
5. 50mm f1.8 Zuiko MC Olympus OM System Auto-S Japan
Complete, but bad fungus problem in front lens assembly
6. 50mm f1.8 Zuiko MC Olympus OM System Auto-S Japan
Complete but slight fungus problem in front lens assembly.
Best Wishes
Eddie
