Agreed... but like I said, that's the *only* one I've seen advertised in Oz,
they are rather rare, and I tend to think if someone'e selling something
rare, and still in demand (I've scratched the surface and peeked into a fair
little market for OM gear here...), the next time I see one, when and if
that occurs, I don't hold out much hope that it'll be much less expensive.
That lens has been sold, (though I don't know the price) within 2 1/2 months
at the most, so I assume the seller didn't have to readvertise at a lower
price.
Cheers
Andy

But, that doesn't mean he/she ever sold it at what they wanted. Determining
value from asking prices perpetuates a myth that asking prices equal item
value.
