Hi all,

at the moment I`m in a hard zuikoholic decission, and would like to know what 
you think about it:

A local dealer offers a mint Zuiko 35mm F/2.8 Shift. Serial-No. 106xxx black 
nose and 
seems to be a MC.  He wants DM 1099.- ( DM : $ ~ 2:1 -> $550).
Because I can`t afford such a sum at the moment I thought I`d trade some of my 
16 lenses for it.
I thought with 4 lenses and a flash should be fine. I stopped trading when he 
offered 550.- DM for 
equipment, I payed about 1400.- in total ( I can`t carry more equipment in my 
bag!).

Now it seems I`d have to trade these items to reach the necessary sum for the 
Shift:
Zuiko -T 2.8/135 + Telemore 2x
Zuiko-Z 4/65-200
Zuiko-Z 3.5~4.5/35~195
Oly.flash F 280
Vari-magni-finder
Zuiko-S 1.4/50
Soligor Zoom 4~5.6/60~300 - A nice lens, but undervalued.
                I bought it new, so I´ve a lot of monney loss with it.
(Maybe my Zuiko-W 2.0/35)

I`ve payed about DM  2150.-(2550.-with 2/35) for all that equipment. Now I´ve 
seen that 
the price for a new 2.8/35 Shift would be 2311.- here in Germnany. So I´m not 
sure
 I´d make a good deal. I already planned to reduce my equipment a bit, but the 
35~105, or the
2.0/35 are two lenses I wanted to keep.
What are you thinking about it? Does a Shift equal such a lot of equipment, even
 if most of`em aren`t what I always use?

thanks,
Frieder Faig
