I have just joined your olympus-digest list after having discovered all
the new possibilities of Olympus through the internet just recently (I am
an old enthusiast of the OM system ever since the early Seventies). Since
its release I have always had an interest for the Zuiko 250mm/2.0,
however, only two where ever sold in Norway. Nevertheless, through the net
I have got an offer for a 250mm/2.0 priced at US $4500,-. This price
equals the original list price in Norway when new. I would presume prices
for a used 250 was lower? Do you other list members that are more familiar
with pricing on second hand Olympus gear recommend a buying at this high
price? Any particularities I should be aware of when considering buying
this lens?
I bought a near-flawless example of this lens for $2,900.00 U.S. (plus
shipping) on yaBe a couple of years ago. At the time, it seemed like a
reasonable price, since I'd seen some fly by on that site at higher
prices. Mind you, this was before Olympus announced the complete
discontinuation of the OM line. It's possible that scarcity considerations
are driving prices up -- just like real estate, they ain't makin' any more
of 'em. 8^>
