Must sell before spouse finds out about new lens I bought!
Reduced shipping for multiple items.

1. Olympus OM-System S Zuiko Auto-Zoom 35-70mm 1:4.
Multicoated. Great shape. Constant aperture. f/4 to f/22. Focuses to 0.75m, 30".
55mm filter thread. Caps and hood.

$95 shipped in US (regular PO or UPS). Outside US or special shipping, $90 +
actual shipping cost. 

2. 50mm f/1.8 SC $20 in US (regular PO or UPS). Caps. Outside US or special
shipping, $15 + actual shipping cost. 

3. Tamron SP 60-300 f/3.8-5.4 zoom. Good for outdoor sports, zoos, & such.
This lens is still in current production. Available new from B&H for $349
(sans mount). See Tamron page at

http://www.tamron.com/

for more specs. Focuses to 1.9m at all focal lengths, then switches to a
macro mode which goes to 1:1.55. In the macro mode it is internal focusing,
so there is only one focusing distance for any magnification.

Comes with rigid plastic bayonet hood, box, instruction book, one of those
funky Tamron leatherette box lens cases with strap, a 62mm off-brand filter,
caps, and your choice of Nikon AI or Olympus OM mounts. The OM mount is type
OL, which is safe for the button lens mounts (4, 3, 2S). $20 off for no mount.

$175 shipped in US (regular PO or UPS). Outside US or special shipping, $170
+ actual shipping cost. 

4. LowePro Trimtech Traveller. Gray. In great shape. Similar in appearance
to current Trim Trekker model (see http://www.lowepro.com), but smaller. A
tall, thin bag curved to fit against your hip. Main compartment roughly 11"
wide, 4" front to back, 10.5" deep. 28 x 10 x 27cm. The bottom part is
accessible through a side hatch and will hold an OM 300mm w/collar (snugly).
The upper part can hold 3 good sized lenses like the 65-200mm, including one
mounted on a body, plus a light meter. Big front pocket. Held so much weight
it stayed in closet, so it looks great. Heavy duty curved and padded
shoulder strap. Unpadded waist and backpack straps stowed in back
compartment. Sturdy grab handle on top.

$40 shipped in US (regular PO or UPS). Outside US or special shipping, $35 +
actual shipping cost. 

5. Tokina RMC 35-105mm f/3.5-4.3 MC. Strangely similar in size, specs, and
(unusual) functional features to pricey 35-105mm Zuiko. Is it a near twin?
f/22 min apert. 55mm filter ring. Focuses to 1.6m (5.25'), then a locking
extension ring turns to take it to 1:4 at 35mm setting, 1:6.5 at 105mm. This
ring turns the opposite direction from the Zuiko. Somewhat worn exterior,
especially brassed front surface, but good glass. Problem is zoom creep:
tilt it up or down and it zooms. This is usually cured by regreasing.
Otherwise works fine -- handheld. Caps and hood for Zuiko 35-105.

$45 shipped in US (regular PO or UPS). Outside US or special shipping, $40 +
actual shipping cost. 

Reduced shipping for multiple items.
