Shawn;
I think that sounds like a good price. The Series 1 was Vivitars' top
line stuff.
As for Ferrell99, I contacted him about another lens that didn't make
reserve. And I agreed to buy it - a Zuiko 100-200 F/5 zoom. Anyone know
much about sharpness of this guy? Looks pretty reasonable on the tests on
Pauls' site. Another factor in buying it was it's one of the few lenses
for which the Zuiko 2x is recommended. Course, a 400 F/10 may not be ALL
that useful, but in a pinch? ...
