This has to be the buy of the year.

Last week I carelessly scored
a Zuiko 35-70/3.6 lens on Trademe NZ for the grand sum of $5.50.


Yesterday it arrived. It was in a mouldy case and the filter on the
front was filthy and somewhat scratched.

HOWEVER, inside, the lens
glass was/is in wonderful condition. The exterior cleaned up nicely with
a wipe of a damp cloth.

Probably most of you will remember Gary
Reese's Lens Tests. Back in the day when his tests were hot monthly
news, I was lusting for a

Zuiko 35-80/2.8, and he told me that the
Zuiko 35-70/3.6 was practically as good - and his tests bear this out;
see http://zone-10.com/d1/node/111

The 35-70/3.6 I owned in 2015
perished in the house fire.

I thought I did pretty well to find (in
late 2015) and buy a replacement on ebay from a camera shop in London UK
for about $270 (with the special lens hood).

I should re-sell the
latest on eBay and make a small profit

I'll admire this one for a
while first - the sparkly pristine front glass is wonderful!!
