>Hi all,
How good is this lens, compared to the Olympus 18 3.5 ?
Is approx. 130 Euro (or US$) a fair price for this lens ?
Do you know about different versions or things to watch out for ?
Thanks a lot,

I got one from KEH few weeks ago. I haven't done any "real" photography
with it yet, but a half roll of test shots on Fuji Provia 100 indicates
it's definitely going to be a keeper. I can't compare it to the 18/3.5
Zuiko because I've never had/used one.
Be aware, though, that it takes 82mm filters, and they can be fitted ONLY
if you have the hood, which, separately, is 53 US of A dollars. If you've
got your sights on one for the equivalent of $130US, hood or not, if it's
in good shape, grab it.
