[OM] Trade suggestion (virgin posting)

Fellow addicts, let me first present myself:
A few years ago I began studying astrophysics at the University of Oslo
here in Norway. Of cource I also got tangled up in amateur astronomy and my
first OM-1 was soon purchased. I've never regretted that decision, and two
of my friends chose OM-1 and OM-1n shortly after. My interest in astronomy
have faded somewhat (I'm now working on my masters degree in electronics)
but I still love my OM equipment, especially after bad experiences with a
bulky Kiev 80 and a terrible Canon EOS1000FN with Cosina 28-300. As money
have been available I've added some very decent lenses and an OM-4T (yes,
'T', imported from the US).

Anyway, I've got some very nice lenses that I've decided to part with, and
I would like to trade for some other Olympus items. This is what I have up
for grabs:

* Zuiko 28-48/4, absolutely mint, only a few light scratches on caps
* Zuiko 28/2.8, mint
* Zuiko 50/1.4, several from E- to M-, comes with everything I buy...
* Zuiko 50/3.5 macro, mint
* Zuiko 100/2.8, single coated and worn exterior. Glass is E+, though
* Zuiko 135/3.5, worn at the edge of sunshade, glass is E+
* Zuiko 2x teleconverter, worn exterior (came with my 180/2.8 that had been
used by a press photographer), glass is E+

AND

a really beautiful Zuiko 40mm f/2 !

This last item was purchased in the US recently and is still at a friends
there. I'm no big fan of normal lenses, I just bought it to trade for some
of the things on my personal wish list:

* Zuiko 90/2 macro, or maybe the 100/2
* 38/2.8
* Vivitar series 1 35-85/2.8 varifocal
* Olympus auto bellows or the zoom extension tube
* Winder 1/2 or Motordrive 2 with acc.
* Fisheye (ONLY fisheye, my Sigma 18/2.8 and Zuiko 28/2 handles the rest)
* High quality 400mm-600mm  NO MIRROR LENSES, unless you have a Celestron
Comet Catcher or similar.

I'm sure most of you guys have several closet loads of things you never use
anyway. Maybe I'm looking for them! If you're very attached to everything
you own you COULD make me an offer in cash, but I really prefer trades.

Regards from Norway,

Thomas Bryhn
