KEH sells the zuiko for about $350 when they have it.
KEH sometimes has Vivitar Sold Cat's under Nikon manual focus also about
$350
Search yaBe for vivitar 600 or vivitar 800, they sell for about the same
as KEH or higher
Vivitar solid cat 450 is about $500 -> $1000
I once saw a Perkin Elmer solid cat on yaBe which looked like the
Vivitar but it was in terrible shape.
Tamron also has a 350mm Cat which seems to go for $170+
For me the biggest problem with the Cat's is focusing. The 1-8 screen
with an angle finder works well with them, but not with a wide angle.
You've probably got to be prepared to swap focusing screens or carry two
bodies if you use a cat.
