Ther's an OM YS mount on that auction site at the moment - not sure why you
would want two of them, other than to insure against say an 8mm/2 appearing
in M42 thread?

Well, I couldn't stand it, and after selling off about 60-70% of my OM
stuff, I just HAD to fill back in where I left holes.

So I got a Tokina 24-40 zoom from KEH, which feels very nice and replaces
the 28-48, but at quite a weight penalty.....but I get 4 more mm on the low
end.

And I got a Sigma 16/2.8 fisheye that has an interchangable mount, much like
the Tamron Adaptall.  Has anyone ever seen one of these lenses?  I think
it's called the Y-S mount.  The front optical section bayonets off the mount
adapter, which has at least one optical element.  I found some info on
Monahan's site, but very little anywhere else.   

I had sold my Zuiko 16/3.5 last year for a good price ($650 if I remember
right), and I missed it.   This one came along in my Ebay sesarch bot email
with a $150.00 BIN price and I snagged it. 

I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.
