My eyes are getting bad & I need autofocus, so I've decided to part with my
OM stuff. Everything is optically & mechanically perfect. Prices do not
include shipping, insurance, or COD fees.
OM-2N Black Body, (10-), virtually mint, very little use since being CLA'd
by Olympus, this is the finest black OM-2N I've seen in the past several
years. No brassing at strap lugs. Very slightest scratch at top of lower
left of film box holder, the screw slots of the motor drive coupling &
battery compartment covers have some wear. Looks like it hasn't been used.
With Shoe 4, original manuals ("Instructions" & "Instructions at a Glance"),
and body cap. No battery, no strap lug rings. $275.
OM-4. (8 or 8+). This has been my user camera but it still looks great,
and I've never had a problem with it sucking batteries, although the
batteries do not last as long as in the OM-2N. Normal but not excessive
wear, normal brassing at strap lugs, normal chipping/scratches along bottom
edge of back and at film box holder, otherwise no chips or dings. Imprint
on body from having had OM Grip 1 attached for a long time. New (silver)
caps at motor drive coupling & battery compartment with hardly any wear in
slots. Perfect optically & mechanically, has been CLA'd twice by Olympus
over the years. With OM Grip 1, original box & manuals, OM body cap. Very
nice condition. No battery, no strap lug rings. $350.
Zuiko 24/2.0. Olympus CLA'd this lens and put in a new rear element, a new
f-stop ring, and a new rear mount, so it looks new except for the flat ring
in front of the f-stop ring, where the paint is pretty dingy (but not dented
at all -- I guess I should have had that replaced, too, but it has character
this way). Pefect optically & mechanically, with original caps, Minolta
55mm UV filter, and mint Olympus 24/2.0 screw-in rubber lens hood in
original box. $320.
Zuiko 35/2.8 with Olympus 28/3.5 screw-in metal lens hood. The lens is 9+,
the hood is 10-. With Minolta 49mm UV filter and rear cap. No front cap.
$75.
Zuiko 50/1.4 with Olympus clamp-on rubber lens hood. The lens is 9+, the
hood is 10-. With original caps. $60.
Zuiko 85/2.0. Except for a 1-mm. diameter scratch/mar (no dent) in the nose
ring paint, I'd say this is a 9-. Has been CLA'd by Olympus. With original
caps, Olympus 49mm UV filter (filter glass turns within frame but otherwise
tight and perfectly serviceable) in original box, and mint Olympus 85/2.0
screw-in rubber lens hood in original box. $220.
Zuiko 135/2.8 lens (10-). Rear cap, no front cap. $95.
Tokina AT-X 285, 28-85/3.5-4.5 macro zoom, OM mount (9-). With Vivitar 62mm
1A filter, Hoya 62mm rotating polarizer, original front cap, and Olympus
rear cap. Original box and manual. $55.

mint. $10.
Various Olympus brochures and articles, 8½x11 unless otherwise noted, cut

new. $10.
The Bronica Manual, by William Cheung (R. Morgan Publishing, 1989),
hardbound, 183pp (includes SQ-Ai). Mint. $25
Olympus T32 flash with Olympus Wide/ND Filter Set. I just noticed a
hard-to-see hairline stress crack in the case (~1/4 inch long), one on each
side, while inspecting it for this sale (can't tell if they're just on the
surface or not), but otherwise perfect. The Filter Set is unused and in its
case. With OM System Manual for Flashphoto Group. No case for flash.
$100.
Quantum Turbo Battery with charger and C03 Module for Olympus (T32, T45).
Works perfect, but even when new, Quantum Turbo batteries have a hard time
starting a T32 or T45 from dead cold. I usually turn the battery on and off
3 or 4 times to get the flash charged the first time - or start it with AA
cells - after that it works like lightning all night. On the other hand,
I've had a T32 and a T45 that would start with the Turbo the first time. Go
figure. Original boxes and manuals. $180.
Olympus Eyecup 1 (10-). Boxed. $8.
Olympus TTL Auto Connector Type 4 (10-). Boxed, instructions. $25.
Olympus TTL Auto Connector Type 4 (9-). (The only difference from the one
above is the label "Lock ¬ Type 4" mostly peeled off). $20.
Olympus TTL Auto Cord T0.6m (coiled) (10-). Boxed. $30.
Olympus TTL Auto Cord T0.6m (coiled) (10-). $26.
Stroboframe R7 Bracket System with shoe mount for T32 or similar (camera
rotates between horizontal & vertical format, keeping flash centered well
above lens). Overall condition is 10-, but main grip switched from
left-hand to right-hand and push-button electrical switch mounted in grip,
with jack for Olympus M.Grip Cord 2, for those used to holding and firing
winder with right hand. [I have used this with the Winder 2, M.Grip Cord 2,
TTL Auto Cord T0.6m, OM4 or OM2N/TTL Autoconnector Type 4, T32, and Quantum
Turbo Battery to provide what I think is the ultimate setup for walk-around
flash photography, especially with the 28-85 zoom]. R7 Bracket System Only.
$35.
Olympus Winder 2. Condition 8+, except that strap lug has been cut off (I
have big hands and it dug into my palm and bothered me). In original box
with Winder 2 Manual and Manual for OM System Motor Drive Group. $75.
Olympus M.Grip Cord 2 (10-). Boxed, instructions. $10.
Custom-Made OM Flash System Adaptor Cords. An electronics shop put these
together for me using parts they ordered from Olympus. These cords pull off
the wire in the 5-pin TTL Auto Connector that fires the flash and adapts it
to other flash connectors. I have two 3-inch long cords that accept a 5-pin
OM TTL Auto Cord plug in one end and have a PC flash connector plug at the
other end. These let you connect, for example, your T32 to a regular PC
flash connector on any camera, via a TTL Auto Cord. I also have one 3-inch
long cord that accepts the 5-pin OM plug in one end and has a 2-prong
"household" flash female socket in the other end, allowing you to connect a
slave with a 2-prong connector to a T32 or T45 via a TTL Auto Cord. (Note
that since these are 2-wire cords and only fire the flash, they do not give
you TTL operation). $10 each.
[I also have two cords that have a 2-prong "household" female jack at one
end and a PC flash plug at the other. $2 each.]
Cokin P System (all 10-):
Lens Flange 49, 52, 55, 58, 62 mm. $3 each.
Filter Holder. $3.
P 120 Gradual G1 in case. $6.
P 083 Diffuser 1 in case. $9.
P 160 Linear Polarizer in case. $9.
P 057 4-Point Star in case. $9.
Domke F2 Bag, tan. Principal wear is in the rubber grip lining on the
shoulder strap, which starts to peel after a few years. Otherwise, just as
serviceable as ever. $35.
Domke Filter Case, black, (9). $12.
Bogen 3221 Black Convertible Tripod with Bogen 3028 Super 3-D Head (9-).
3-section legs with flip-lock levers. 3 different click-stop leg spread
angles and telescoping convertible center post lets you get as low as 10
inches off the ground. With Bogen carrying strap and Saunders Quick Release
System with 2 camera mounting plates and 35 mm adapter plates. Very nice
system. $110.
I also have a few odds and end of OM lens and body caps and several Tamron
quick-release camera straps.
