This thing keeps popping up at the strangest times in the strangest places. Makes me wonder if there is more than one out there...

Paul Yates posted here about that lens in 2008, we had quite a discussion.
I see he tried to sell it on FM three years ago for USD2000.

I bumped across  an OM Zuiko 24-40mm f/4 zoom on Ebay:

The Canadian owner thinks it is a prototype that never made it to
production.  As far as he knows, it is one of a kind, although he says the
serial number (100005) would imply that that there are at least four others.

Bidding starts at C$0.99, with a Buy It Now price of C$2,000. Heaven knows
what he set the reserve at.
