During a weekend trip to Calgary I came across a photo dealer who has a few brand new still in the shrink wrap MC Made in Japan 50mm / f1.8 Zuiko lenses retailing for Cdn$39.99. That is about US$27 and UKP17. Seems that Carson Canada [the Canadian Olympus importer] has been unloading these lenses in to the retail market lately at next to nothing as part of some kind of restructuring effort. I was shown the lenses in their boxes, complete with shrink wrap, warranty papers, etc and I have no doubt whatsoever that everything is legitimate. The photo dealer told me that when the stock is exhausted, the importation of these lenses [and maybe other Olympus OM items] will be changed and that the retail prices will be much increased.

The photo dealer is "The Photo Experts" and their phone number is [403] 265 - 0609.
