Here in Sweden you can order a new 85/2 ("with skin bag" - wow!) for $785.

Not sure who Zuiko7 is, but the current auction at $300 is not that far out of the range for the 85/2.0. They seem to get $200+ even for some decidedly non-new condition samples I can remember. I suspect Olympus wanted a good lot more than $300 for the list price when -they- were selling them new...
and its one of my favorite lenses, so small, sharp, and fast.

Still, the couple (or 3 or 4, I can't remember... <g>) I have are good
enough for me. I like my Zuiko's with good clear clean glass, smoothly
functioning mechanicals, and minimal wear signs, but I'm not restricting a scratch or two on the finish, or some brassing on the aperture rings, etc. I've got a few 'nearly perfect' lenses, and a few that show some use, and
all give me a good feeling (and some good pictures).
