Bastard, bastard, bastard!!
but seriously...
If (or not) you end up purchasing this find, could you
post the rough price you purchased it for (if you don't mind)?
(I've been keeping my eye out for just such a beast to replace
my off-brand 24/2.8)
Last time I saw a zuiko 24/2.8 in Sydney (admittedly in a
well-known camera dealer), it was about AU$350
if I recally correctly. (The same dealer wanted $150 for a
hanimex 24/?? in OM mount and I saw them trying to
palm off an OM4(non T) for $1300 !!)
best of luck

Subject: [OM] Found a 24mm in Sydney... woohoo!
Well, folks, for the first time in 18 months, I've actually found a
24mm/2.8 Zuiko to buy in Sydney. Just in time too, I'm going up to Byron
Bay for a week on Monday (a coastal town at the eastern-most point of
Australia) which should provide some opportunities for landscapes. I
have a picture in mind - sunrise out of the pacific with cliffs and
lighthouse in view...
I'm going in tomorrow morning to look it over, and with any luck, buy
it.
Cheers
Andy
PS pushing Agfa HDC worked fine, though the fact that someone dropped my
flash off a table at some point, busting the dial (Vivitar 283) didn't
help, meaning about 1/2 to 2/3 are badly underexposed. I've since taken
the flash apart and sorted the problem out.
And before someone points it out, I did some available light photos as
well as flash, that's why I pushed the film ;-)
