I thought about going after that lens, but I had two problems.  1) I have no 
money (thanks Tom...can't wait to play with my new toys). 2) With the 
exception of perhaps bodies, I don't think many send off Oly items for a 
routine CLA and then want to get rid of them.  Unless, of course,  there was 
a previous problem.  Whether it was dust, fungus, replaced elements, 
something was probably wrong with the lens and is now fixed.  Of course, I 
could have e-mailed the seller, but then I might really want to buy the lens 
if he/she told me some sob story about how his vision was failing, was 
changing to automatic and sent his 8mm, 180/2.0, 250/2.0, 100/2.0, 350/2.8, 
1.4x contervter, etc., etc. to John H. for a CLA on it all b/f selling it on 
Ebay.
    Maybe I'm crazy, but did anybody else have this same logic?
--p.j.

BTW, thanks for everybody's advice on the T-10 modeling lights!
