: Subject: Re: [OM] Why is this a collector's item ?
Well it isn't. They are not extremely rare; with a bit of luck you can find
them for $60 - same range as the MF version.
: This lens only came on the OM-F and it represent's
: Olympus's first attempt at autofocus. It only works on
: the OM-F as well I think. I have never seen one on
: e-bay so this is a very rare lens even though its not
: particularly useful or valuable. Basically I would
: only get it if I had an OM-F (which is an OM-10
: variant). Check the e-sif site for more.
Aye - the eSIF tells you that the lens has a dedicated function with the
OM-30 (F) - it is triggered by pressing the shutter - but that it also can
do its AF tricks with any other OM body - triggered by pressing the buttons
on the lens. It also works together with the In-Focus trigger cord on any OM
body for In-focus shooting with Winder or MD.
