I wrote my last e-mail about midnight in Baltimore, and it seems I had
recovered from a jet lag already!
Actually you should not multiply all the prices I mentioned by 10.
The following should be correct:
OM-3Ti: list, 200,000yen street 140,000yen
OM-4Ti: list, 180,000yen street 135,000yen
The average exchange rate to the US dollar is 130yen to the dollar. I'll
let you know how much I actually paid for my 85mm/2 lens when my credit
card statement arrives.

Remember that the US resident has to pay duty over one's purchase over
$400. Therefore the duty will be $56.20. (10%). The OM-3Ti price then
becomes $1018.20.
My round-trip ticket to Narita from BWI was $931. However, one can find a
cheaper flight than this, and particularly for those on the West Coast, a
round trip to Japan to do sightseeing and Oly shopping may not be such a
wild idea.
I should also point out that there are plenty of second-hand camera stores
in Tokyo one might want to visit, which I did not have time to do.
