You did well Brian.
I watched a Zuiko 65-200 zoom sell on Aussie oboy last night for AU$28.30,
I was tempted to make a bid but didn't.
OTOH, Oly 'collectibles' seem to be going up in price. A common Pen EES2
sold recently for AU$85 and a Pen EED in the UK went for an absolutely
ridiculous AU$207. Or maybe these are just cases of oboy fever, who knows...
