Hello all,

I'm a new list member, finally forced to turn here for support because my wife 
is no longer supportive, or even civil, about my growing Olympus arsenal. Don't 
know if it's the money, the space the gear takes up or the time I spend 
polishing it. Probably one of the the latter reasons, considering I haven't yet 
blown all the proceeds from the EOS system I've mostly sold off over the past 
year (if anyone is curious why, I'm trying to strengthen my photographic skills 
and unlearn my pointographic ills.) But there is a possibility I could clear 
out a little space if anyone is ever looking to unload a nice, but not 
too-nice, Zuiko 28/2 ...  

My question concerns the Spiratone 20/2.8. I have been offered a mint example 
for under $100. The archives of this list contain some general praise for its 
performance, but I am particularly interested in its distortion 
characteristics. Compared to other lenses in this range, are straight lines kpt 
reasonably straight?

A decent bargain can be found at usedphoto.com.The owner, Brad (no 
relation/affiliation/etc.,) is offering a nice-looking Zuiko 35/2 for $140. I'm 
publicizing this for a selfish reason. I want someone to buy it before I break 
down. There's also an MC 24/2.8 at the same price.
