Well, they might not give the glass away, but compared to prices for
Canon EOS glass or Nikon glass, I'd say used Zuiko is pretty
affordable.

One thing about which I wonder though, is whether a Zuiko zoom, of
1970s or early '80s vintage, is as good as what I could buy from
Tokina or Tamron today.

Granted, in general fixed focal length lenses (excluding some of the
exotic ones) haven't gotten remarkably better (at least optically)
over the last 20 years. But most zooms have.
