Winsor,

If it is a f3.6 then in the US you'll pay in the two hundreds depending on
condition. The f3.6 performance is legendary and in my experience it lives
up to it. The other Zuiko 35-70 zooms are good too, but I don't know the
specifics and they will run about $100 less than the 3.6  It may be worth
fixing if it is a f3.6.
