The third version of the lens, with aperture varying from 2.8 - 4.0, is

John...I tried the 67mm f/3.5 version on my OM1n and had good results
especially in the macro mode...The problem is its size and weight...I much
prefer the OM 65-200/f4...The 62mm is smaller and I believe it to be a
later
model...The Series 1 is a good lens...I'm more familiar with the 67mm
version having used it and I've noticed e*bay prices vary from $40. to
$125.
that were rated ex+ to mint...The owner of the used camera store that I
frequent seemed to like the 67mm more, but gave me no specifics on
why...Marty
