Maybe it was a good thing that I sold my 8mm when I did.
Incidently, I did notice that about 6 months after it was gone, the buyer
had it back on the market.

My elements looked like they were covered in fish scales... I tried a
number
of things to remove the scales, and eventually a soak in white vinegar did
so but under the scales the glass was etched away... the elements are
totally unusuable. The rest of the lens is disassembled now...
I checked with Olympus Japan and they didn't have any parts for the lens,
either.
