Hi Carl !
I wish I could afford to buy all the OLY stuff I see at shows! The interesting
thing is that other dealers (who do not specialize in OLY) come by and offer it
to
me, sometimes at bargain prices, because they say the stuff is hard to sell, and
OLYMPUS is getting out of the OM System!
Yes, I buy all the 24mm shift lenses, 40mm lenses, M-1s, 50-250mm lenses, etc. I
find at every show! Gimme a break, Carl. we need to talk at the next show you
see
me at. I have a new in the box OM-5 I want $150 for! Paul.
