You have to watch me carefully, Keith, I sometimes "bowl googlies" (I
suspect that you will know what that means, despite being "over there"!),
and that was a googly.
The 24/3.5 is definitely OM mount, and there are definitely no decimal
places misplaced, nor any epenthetic digits (am I allowed to use that word
here?). You need to remember that Olympus made only the 24mm wide angle
with f/2.8 diaphragm. Unlike the 28mm and 35mm wide angles, there was no
"consumer grade" f/3.5 version. The 24mm shift lens is the one with f/3.5
diaphragm. Sorry that my shorthand deceived you (but I doubt that you felt
you had bought your 24/2.8 for a bargain price)!

Hi Piers,
Can that be right?
An f/3.5 selling for 10X more than an f/2.8?
I bought my H.Zuiko 24/2.8 in June of this year for $138. NO chipped
elements...
I thought maybe a decimal point slipped somewhere!
Oh wait a minute. You said "OT" mount. What's that? Or did you mean OM
mount?
