My last 'near-fang' was from B&H, actually. They had a 100/2 listed as 8+
condition that appeared one afternoon, priced at $249. I snapped it up so
fast I almost got whiplash. The lens really appears and functions as new.
The barrel has some slight wear to it, that's about all. I still don't know
for sure what they were thinking, but I'm not complaining. Might explain
why they have a diminishing inventory of OM stock.

B&H seems to have a very compressed grading scale. An "8" can be in
pretty tough shape. I bough a brown ever ready case from them where one
of the strap lug straps was missing, and an Eyecup 1 where the plastic
on one side was missing! I would stick to 8+ or higher with them.
Their inventory of OM-related items is way down, BTW.
