Hi Mauler,
that Zuiko 180/2.8 is the only one available for sale in Singapore, and yes, its
the one at Prime Camera. I tried out the lens and liked it for its handling and
for the image in the viewfinder. But I couldn't afford it.
It was stiff when I tried it, but that was some months back a few days after it
first appeared in the window. So perhaps, it has been serviced during this time.
Like I said, its been in the window for ages. I think he'd be willing to lower
the
price if you tell him the average ebay price. Many people have dissed him and
his
shop for his service before, but I for one have never had any such problems. He
greets me on a first name basis and I have purchased quite a few things before.
an
M 35 summicron, and a few other N*kon mount lenses and accessories.
He's the only shop in Singapore that has a collection of Zuiko and OM mount
stuff
fairly regularly though. Seen the 300 mm 4.5?
