>Hi all,

How good is this lens, compared to the Olympus 18 3.5 ?
Is approx. 130 Euro (or US$) a fair price for this lens ?
Do you know about different versions or things to watch out for ?

Thanks a lot,

I got one from KEH few weeks ago.  I haven't done any "real" photography
with it yet, but a half roll of test shots on Fuji Provia 100 indicates
it's definitely going to be a keeper.  I can't compare it to the 18/3.5
Zuiko because I've never had/used one.

Be aware, though, that it takes 82mm filters, and they can be fitted ONLY
if you have the hood, which, separately, is 53 US of A dollars.  If you've
got your sights on one for the equivalent of $130US, hood or not, if it's
in good shape, grab it.

Walt
