Look for prices in the $175 (USA dollars) range, give or take a few. 
I got mine in Mint-/Ex++ condition for some $150 plus shipping, but
that was luck more than anything else.

This is a true pro zoom, built with a 'cost is no object' mentality. 
Expect it to beat just about every Zuiko zoom save the 35-80/2.8 ED.
