Well, I really need to clear the shelves of things that have accumulated
(since joining this list!), so I'm going to have a sale (that I'll most
certainly regret at some point).

Before I go and list these on e-Bay, I thought I'd offer here.

OM-4, Black - Near Mint, as mint as you can get for a pre-owned camera.  The
only flaw that I can see is very small spot of minor wear above one of the
lug strap rings.  That's it.  Comes with Instruction Booklet, For Your
Creative Photography booklet, Authorized Distributor booklet, Warranty
booklet (no warranty obviously) and genuine Olympus body cap.  $ 395, plus
shipping (J Sloane's near mint recently went for $560 on e-Bay).  I'll
probably regret letting this one go...at this price

OM-4 Black - Not as nice as the one above, but a great camera. Recently
CLA'd by Camtech, so it is mechanically perfect.  Very little brassing above
strap lugs.  Minor scratches on bottom plate.  Only significant brassing is
on back (put a new back on for $35 and this one becomes VG+).  Comes with
body cap.  $335 plus shipping (a bargain because of the CLA!)

Motor Drive 2 and M.15V Ni-Cd Control Pack2 and Charger 1 - in Excellent
condition.  Very small spots of paint wear on the edges along the bottom of
the M.15V, otherwise it looks new.  I think that the Control Pack does need
a new battery as it doesn't seem to hold a charge (Camtech can update these
with NiMH or you can buy the batteries and do yourself).  $275 plus shipping
(I will part this one out if need be)

Winder 2.  Excellent minus condition.  A few minor marks in the paint, but
no real notable wear.  $85 plus shipping

Vivitar 28mm f1.9 (!) Series 1 lens.  This is a great lens, one of Vivitar's
best in my opinion.  Reason for selling - just acquired a 24mm Zuiko.  Glass
is perfect, cosmetics are VG+. Comes with caps.  $145 plus shipping.
Probably regret selling this one....

Zuiko 50 f1.4 with rubber OM hood, caps.  Blades are snappy, a few small
black specks, but overall a fine user lens $55 plus shipping

Zuiko 50mm f3.5 Macro, MC version.  Glass perfect.  Blades are snappy.
Cosmetics a little rough (OK, guys, I'll describe, lest we start a thread on
"rough") - wear on aperture ring, focus ring, front ring, numbers on the
aperture ring are a bit dirty, and engraving on the outside edge of the
mount ring.  Again, this is purely cosmetic.  Comes with caps.  $145 plus
shipping.

Zuiko 35mm f2.8  VG+ condition.  Glass perfect.  Again, snappy blades.  A
minor bit of wear on the aperture ring.  Comes with caps.  $69 plus shipping

Zuiko 75-150/4 in EX- condition, with Olympus hard case and caps.  Aperture
snappy, cosmetics VG+ (marks on the built-in shade).  Hard case is worn, but
works.  $100 plus shipping

Tamron 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 2-touch zoom, Adaptall lens so it can be used with
other brands (not that you'd own any....).  Glass excellent. Cosmetics in
VG- condition with wear on aperture ring, zoom ring, focusing ring. Comes
with caps $80 plus shipping.  Requires adaptall-2 mount (can be included for
$25).

Recordata Back 4.  Near perfect.  Very, very small dent on the back, and one
very small nick in the paint, no brassing.  $95 plus shipping

Grip (1?) for OM-2S, OM-3, OM-4 series. Minor wear in the screw slot.
Overall VG-.  $18 plus shipping

Grip strap for OM winders (I know it works with Winder 2 - don't have a
Winder 1 or system chart to check for Winder 1).  Looks like leather,
probably leatherette.   In VG condition.  $25 plus shipping

OM Focusing screen 1-6.  Matte with contrasting matte circle in center.  Has
some minor markings.  In original box, with insertion tool.  $15 plus
shipping

Olympus case, for OM-series cameras, accommodates standard lens sizes (maybe
up to 100mm?), and camera with Winder. Leatherette.  VG condition.  $40 plus
ship

Olympus case, for OM-series cameras with standard lens (doesn't hold camera
+ winder).  Leatherette. VG condition.  $35 plus ship.

I think that is all (whew!).  I have sold to several others before, who
would vouch for my reputation (or check out my e-bay rating:  mls64 is the
username).

Regards,
Mike Stephens
Plano, TX
