Hi Mark,

Well, it sure is a 35-80/2.8 and yes, it's in excellent+ condition, almost mint- actually.

I'm glad to hear this deal worked out fully for you!!! :)))
A truly amazing find, with which I'd like to congratulate you once more!

There is however one small 5mm long hairline scratch near the top edge of the element. I can't see it when looking through the rear of the lens, so I'm sure spending $300+ to replace the element isn't justified.

Don't worry at all about this! My 100/2 has three tiny cleaning marks (barely visible), which is why I still have the lens (but that's a long story). I've never seen any image quality loss because of it, so for me such marks are no problem at all.

Enjoy the lens! I know you will, as it's one of the finests in the Zuiko stable...

The rear element appears fine to me, I wasn't able to find any marks on it.

Didn't the description mentioned some "internal dust" (or something like that)? Was there any?

As unbelievable as this deal may have sounded, I can now assure you that it's real.

I can understand that the store owners made an "undervaluation" of this item. A thing which has me wondering though, is how it's possible that the original owner sold this lens so cheaply to the camera store?!?

Either way: their loss, your gain! :)

eBay never ceases to amaze me!  Now where's that $200 350/2.8? :-)

Hey, hey, don't get greedy now...;)

Enjoy the indulgement!

Cheers,
Olafo
