I mistakenly sold my original 35/2.8, and a couple years ago Tom Scales had
one last silver-nosed one left which he graciously sold to me. A lens which,
along with the 100/2.8, will by my "last-lens standing".
I don't know why you are having troubles finding the 35/2.8 at the moment.
I think it's cyclical. Every once in a while a particular lens model will
dry up--you can't find them anywhere, but then a month or two later they are
all over the place. But, half of all Zuiko lenses worldwide are among our
list-members, so this query should yield results.
BTW, you will definitely want to match series of 35/2.8 lenses. The
silvernosed (singlecoated) lenses are different than the later blacknosed
(multicoated) variety. Either are excellent lenses, but the optical formula
is altered. Not nearly as much as other lenses, but there is a difference.
