Hi Reuben
I just bought and received a Tamron SP 17mm f3.5 for around 150USD on eBay.
I got the original version with built-in filters (81B, 80B, and 2Y), which
means that I do not have to buy a very expensive lenshood to mount 80mm
filters!
The viewfinder images look great (rectilinear), so now I am just waiting
for my first film to be processed.
This lens has a ver good reputation, by the way.

Zuiks,
Any thoughts on the best non-Zuiko prime ultrawide (>24mm)?
Please don't bother singing the praises of the Zuiko 21s or 18 - of course
I bloody
want one! I just can't afford it right now.
Also - you've all finally worn me down. I'm gonna try this one last time.
FS - Zuiko 65-200mm f4 zoom in IMMACULATE condition, w/Oly front and rera
caps. This lens is MINT. ( I don't use it enough to warrant keeping it.
Call me a fake
Zuikoholic - and yes, I'll probably bemoan its loss the second I post it
off - but I'm
happy with my 3-prime lens + accessories kit. )
You've all worn me down to asking $160 US - a bargain in anyone's language!
I
know it's not the most sought after Zuik and that a lot of you already have
one, but
this lens is so under-rated and in, sincerely, showroom condition.
I'm seriously only trying to divest myself of it because I don't need the
"convenience" of zooms for what I shoot. Reply off list if interested in
finding out my
terms.
BTW - This whole "light travel outfit" thing - it's how I operate full
stop; at present it's
28f2, 50 1.4, 85 f2 + Elicar macro/tele converter (this item rocks ...). I
am
SERIOUSLY interested in this Voigtlander/Cosina 40mm f2 thing, though -
looks
fab. If the performance is anywhere near the Zuik at a nicer price, I'd be
keen. I
never could decide between 35 and 50 as my "standard" - the 40 is the
PERFECT
focal length for an indecisive Gemini like myself.
Eagerly awaiting replies ...
Reuben Acciano
