$238.50 is a REAL GOOD price on a 40/2. I sold one of mine for $350 last year, and I thought that was a bit low. My Ebay history shows 13 successful auctions at an average of $495, with the lowest priced lens going for $405.

I think that the labeling of the 6/4 auction without the Zuiko name probably hurt the seller. The title was:

"OLYMPUS OM PANCAKE 2.0/40mm LENS & CAPS"

So searches for "Zuiko" wouldn't return this auction.

Oh, well, whoever teranceb is on Ebay certainly is happy!.

Michiel, you are 3 days too late.  There was a Zuiko 40/2 auction off
on Ebay that closed 6/4/00 (price was $238.50, and reserve was met).
Should have asked the question a little earlier.
