They usually sell for $60-80 on Ebay.  Does that say something?

Remember, this is an OM-System "S" lens, made by Cosina for Olympus to rebadge.

I don't believe the "S" lenses were made by Cosina. The Cosina lenses are the ones made specifically with the introduction of the OM-2000 (also by Cosina) such as the 70-210 and 35-70/3.5~4.8 lenses. The "S" lenses were an economy line of Zuiko's which included the 28/3.5 and 75-150/4 lenses, which are definitely Zuiko's made by Olympus.

BTW, *please* do not confuse the "S" line of lenses with the "Auto-S" marking on the 50mm and 55mm lenses!!! The "Auto-S" mark means it is a standard focal length. (The wide angles are marked "Auto-W" and the teles are marked "Auto-T.")
