"OLYMPUS ZUIKO 50mm/1.8 reflex lens. BRAND NEW, still factory sealed in
shrink wrap. All packing and papers in original box. LENS HAS NEVER BEEN 
OPENED "  (picture showing shrink-wrapped lens attached)

The best I can remember, I've bought six new Zuickos over the years -
none came shrink-wrapped.  This sounds like a fraud to me.  Am I
mistaken? >>

Reflex, eh?  Only the 500mm is a reflex lens!

I bought a new in box 50mm f/1.8 that sure wasn't shrink wrapped.  Just came 
in a small plastic bag.  BTW, the interesting thing about the 50mm was that 
the box said F.Zuiko MC and the lens was labled MC.  We all know you can't 
have F.Zuiko *plus* MC.  So I bought it as a collectable.  That is about my 
budget for collectables  :-)

When they are strange things like this in eBay descriptions, it signals 
"buyer beware."
