Zuiks,

Any thoughts on the best non-Zuiko prime ultrawide (>24mm)?

Please don't bother singing the praises of the Zuiko 21s or 18 - of course I 
bloody 
want one! I just can't afford it right now.

Also - you've all finally worn me down. I'm gonna try this one last time.

FS - Zuiko 65-200mm f4 zoom in IMMACULATE condition, w/Oly front and rera 
caps. This lens is MINT. ( I don't use it enough to warrant keeping it. Call me 
a fake 
Zuikoholic - and yes, I'll probably bemoan its loss the second I post it off - 
but I'm 
happy with my 3-prime lens + accessories kit. )

You've all worn me down to asking $160 US - a bargain in anyone's language! I 
know it's not the most sought after Zuik and that a lot of you already have 
one, but 
this lens is so under-rated and in, sincerely, showroom condition. 

I'm seriously only trying to divest myself of it because I don't need the 
"convenience" of zooms for what I shoot. Reply off list if interested in 
finding out my 
terms. 

BTW - This whole "light travel outfit" thing - it's how I operate full stop; at 
present it's 
28f2, 50 1.4, 85 f2 + Elicar macro/tele converter (this item rocks ...). I am 
SERIOUSLY interested in this Voigtlander/Cosina 40mm f2 thing, though - looks 
fab. If the performance is anywhere near the Zuik at a nicer price, I'd be 
keen. I 
never could decide between 35 and 50 as my "standard" - the 40 is the PERFECT 
focal length for an indecisive Gemini like myself.

Eagerly awaiting replies ...
Reuben Acciano
