Boy, am I happy I bought mine when the model first came out - in 1986 if I remember correcty. At the time the list price here in the Netherlands was somewhere around HFL 1.600 (or EUR 750), but in NYC I bought one new for US$ 225, which was around a third of the price, even by the exchange rate back then!

Has been my favourite Zuiko ever since :-)

There was one in the latest Aust. Photographic Trader for AU$1000 but it had gone before WayneH got to it (and as a subscriber I get the mag before it hits the stands). That would indicate that a good used one is worth at least that much here if it sold so quickly. I've seen them priced in Oz between AU$900-1200 for used. Brand new - got to be much more! It's no bargain but he's not being unreasonable - but if JohnH. has them for a good bit less, plus shipping.....

Hi all.
I've recently been looking for a Zuiko 90/2 macro and I've managed to
find one right in Australia.
Unfortunately, he wants 1700 AUD (~1120 USD) for it. Apparently it's
new, never opened, never used, original packing, case, etc.
From what I've seen, 90/2 macros should be going for around 1k USD. Am I
correct? Is this guy dreaming?

Regards
Daniel Tan
