No such deals still exists... somewhere in Europe... (just try...)
An OM2n (Black +++) with winder 2 + 50 1,8 + 75-150 + T32 + 21mm 3,5 (ex+)
All the kit for 15000Bef (375  Euro)... but that was two month ago...
So I'm left with a third 50, a fourth T32 and winder, and a second OM2n
(already sold to my brother in law for 150 Euro)...
But I've got the 21 ....

So keep searching (Ibazar belgium, Ebay germany... and others)
