A fellow named Larry Walker is selling this on ebay.  He has multiples of
them, and in fact is probably ordering them from the distributor when he
gets an auction closing, as the time to ship was about 10 days.  

The lense is pretty much as described except it is not really "OM mount" it
is a screw mount and an OM mount adapter.  The lense is light for the size,
indicating the quality of construction no doubt.  It seems unlikely that ANY
information (other than light) goes from the lens to the camera (in my case
an OM-1) due to the way the adapter / mount thing works.    

I paid $167 for it and am undecided on whether to return it or not.  

Here is the web page link.

What are your opinions on this?   I have not yet shot anything through it.

I've got a T32 like that - come to think about it, I think there are a few
bits missing !
