This is not the auction to which I was making reference.  However, I did come 
across this one last night and, mostly out of avaracious curiosity, took at 
look at the "superb" 21/2 Zuiko, since I have one and like to see them sell for 
big bucks.  I was a bit put off by the fact everything he is selling is 
"superb" and by his conditions of sale.

The "double secret" auction I referred to is not for lenses.  It is for a body, 
probably the rarest of the OM bodies, excepting possibly only the M-1.  I'm not 
saying another word, and I take back what I said about not bidding.  I may.  Or 
I may not.  I've got more e-Snipe points than I have sense.  :-)
