The seller is the same that went searching for me in Osaka outside of
yabe. I had seen he had sold a couple of Bib Foots too. Jeff K had
thought it a good idea to contact him directly and he was correct (as
usual). Communication, price, packing were all very good. Zeiss
optics on the cheap, perhaps. (same factory) I have not seen one of
these on yabe yet, ever in OM mount.

About as Zuikoish as a non Zuiko could be, IMO. 49mm front element
APO, sharp as a tack wide open, very good MFD---1:4.
What's not to like? The bokeh is very good but not as consistently
wonderful as the CV 125 apo Lanthar macro.
OK, so it focuses the "wrong" way.
Cameraquest has hoods NIB last I checked.
It is easy to focus on OM's and not as hard as they say on digital, IMO.
Just in case a listee is interested.
Some on alt lens section of FM say the color seemed slightly less
saturated than his 70-200 f4 L lens--so?? This guy is as large as his
hood and I can put it in my coat pocket!
