Hi OM'ers,
    George S. recently wondered if prices on OM equipment were
softening.  I recently bid on two macro lenses on eBay, the 80mm f4
(automatic version) and the 135mm f4.5.  Both were being sold with the
65-116 telescopic autotube as part of the deal.  The 80mm with tube went
for $350, the 135mm went to $305 but didn't reach the reserve.  Assuming
the autotube is worth--what? $100? $125?--these two lenses were being
high-bid at @ $180-$250, or fairly well below the mean (about $305) of
Skip Williams's data set.
    Okay, the pictures of the 135mm lens were inadequate.  But aren't
these two fairly sought-after lenses?  Am I missing something? Maybe no
one thinks of taking photos of insects in the dead of winter?
Dean
