Strange, Roger ...

The  35/2 and 85/2 go for over twice that normally, but Jessops has a
strange secondhand pricing policy.

I managed to bag a pretty mint 50/1.2 today (with box, instructions
and guarantee from about 1994).  It was meant to be like new, but it
has a little of the paint worn off part of the aperture ring.  I
spoke to the vendor who swears that it has not been on a camera
(looks like it with no scratches on the mounting plate) or been in a
camera bag.  Has anyone heard of the paint job being a little fragile
on these lenses?

...  but it is quite a bit bigger than my 50/1.4 SC which I quite
like, so I am wondering which niche of Barker photography this
standard lens will fit into.

As I strolled down Tottenham Court Road in the blazing sunshine
today I glanced in the window of Jessops, hitherto my photographic
bete noire for their gross incompetence with repairs.  They have
several decent-looking Zuikos at rather good prices, which London
and other UK members might be interested in:

35/2: GBP89.90
85/2: GBP89.90
135/2.8: GBP89.90
135/3.5: GBP39.90
35-70/4: GBP89.90 (has a hood as well)

I don't need any of them but these look like pretty good deals -
much lower prices than are typical around here.
