You can get a Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5, a tiny but excellent lens favored by many listees for something like half that price, from me, for example, among others.

Is it actually made in Germany? The simple spec. is identical to the Cosina made Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.8, which is generally considered the poorest performer among the Zuiko 35-70 lens models. Take a look here <http://olympus.dementia.org/eSIF/om-sif/lensgroup/35-70mmf35-48.htm> for a pic and specs on the Zuiko for comparison.

Found a Carl Zeiss Jena 35-70mm 3.5-4.8 OM mount zoom.
Personally I've never come across one such before.


Is this a good lens?


Is approx $US250 a good price? It's NIB.
Seems a little high to me.

That's high for any brand.
