I had a black Zuiko 350mm f/2.8 which I sold to David Brown on the list so
there's at least one black one here in the UK. I hadn't realised how scarce
they are - only 50 made! I should have asked him for a whole lot more cash
:) I'll not embarass anyone by divulging what I actually bought instead of
this most desirable of lenses.
John.
