KEH.com is having 20% off all "UGly"-grade lenses.
They have the legendary Olympus OM Zuiko 500mm f/8 Reflex for $149. With the
discount, that would be $119.20! You can get one of the world's best mirror
lenses for the price of a junker!
I put it in my shopping cart, then took it back out. I don't need two of these,
no matter how good the price, although I considered immediately flipping it on
evilBay for $300+, the going rate.
"UGly" stuff is a bit of a crap-shoot, I guess, although KEH has an excellent
return policy.
I've only bought "UGly" from them twice, and both times, I got something
near-mint that had something missing, rather than something that was beat up.
I got an "UGly" Telescoping Extension Tube for $39. It was near-mint, but was
missing caps and the tripod foot.
I recently crossed my fingers, and ordered an "UGly" Olympus OM Zuiko 100mm f/2
for $438.30. It arrived near-mint with perfect glass, but in a plastic bag,
without case nor either end cap! (Hey, I gots a drawer full of caps!)
