Ian, I have an extra 35-70 f-4 Zuiko that is very nice and I can probably
ship it to you for $130 or less depending on where you are. /jnm

Am I out of touch with prices?

I have a 35/70 3.5~4.5 where the focusing ring has come loose from the
internals - it feels like its a friction grip and still works if I'm
carefull.

Quoted repair costs are (in GB pounds) 60 - 85 + parts + VAT (17.5%).....
around $130USD. At that sort of price I'm tempted to dismember it myself - I
was looking for an ultra cheap 50 1.8 for my first experiment but....

Shame really as it was my favorite 'walk about' lens.

Ian
