Then I feel lucky. As I dimly recall I picked it up some years ago
from a guy in San Jose for $150. $150 seemed a good price compared to
what the 21/2 was going for at B&H new. I bought the 135/3.5 for $45
at the San Jose camera swap meet around the same time and I haven't
bought another lens (Zuiko or otherwise) in the intervening 10 years.
I can see why the 21/3.5 would be a list favorite. I've used it for
multi second pre-dawn exposures in the eastern Sierras in California
as well as set-and-forget f8 and f11 exposures of the previously
mentioned speeding toddler. The only problem with the latter being
the sticky fingers that can reach the lens if I get most of the kid
in most of the frame.
