A much more detailed description of the lenses as requested by a number of 
people is as follows:

         The 90 F2.0 OM Zuiko macro:

                *    Glass absolutely perfect, front and rear.

                *    No marring or abrasions on the rubberized focusing ring.

                *    Except for some very, very tiny nicks from mounting 
filters
                      or lens shade,  the front is perfect.

                *    On the front of the focusing collar, there are some 
slight scratches
                      where the lens must have banged on something. But they 
barely
                      break the paint surface.

                *    Lastly, on the diaphragm ring there is a spot of mild 
wearing due
                      to the fact that when mounted on a camera this is what 
the
                      whole thing would rest on if you were to set it down. 
Inevitable
                       really.

                *    Focusing action is smooth, with no trace of binding.

                *    Overall, the lens gives an impression of very light 
usage.
      

      The Zuiko 55F1.2:

                *    Glass absolutely perfect, front and rear.

                *    No marring or abrasions on the rubberized focusing ring.

                *    Slight scratches here and there, and two very tiny dings
                      on the very front of the lens.

                *    Also this is the "black" nose 55, not the silver of the 
first
                     generation.

                *    A very well cared for normal lens.
