Volkhart Baumgaertner is not the only olympus owner to lose lenses
to thieves lately.
I came across the following posting in a UK newsgroup. It looks highly
relevant to Zuikoholics who are looking for more lenses and need to know if
a lens might be stolen.
'From: "David" <keswick@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Newsgroups: uk.adverts.other
My Olympus Zuiko 350mm/f2.8 lens was stolen last week. This is a large and
heavy telephoto lens in an aluminium case. It is a VERY rare lens, more so
because it is completely black - most of these lenses were made in a cream
colour. Very few of these professional lenses were made in this colour and I
have never seen or heard of another in the UK.
I would be grateful for any help anyone could give me in finding this lens
and will be happy to offer £100 cash to anyone who can give me any
information which leads to its return. If you see such a lens advertised for
sale or in a shop please let me know and I will do the rest to check if it
is mine - obviously I have a serial number and other specific descriptions
of the lens which would confirm this. I will post a crime number as soon as
the police have given me these details.
Please reply by e-mail if have any information.
Many thanks, David'
