Hi:

I 'won' one too, Also paid $550 for it with orig caps and case like new.
Only my $'s  were of the US variety so according to Haukeboe I got an
excellent lens at 10% less than the average price. Andrew you got a steal I
think as the lowest eb*y was $299 US and here is the description-

This Olympus Zuiko 16mm 1:3.5 lens cosmetically is in good condition,
however the glass looks ugly - it has a ding of about 1mm size, few smaller
dings and scratches and the front element coating is about 90% worn.
Focusing works smoothly, the diaphragm is crisp....

Why would you bother? 'Cosmetically good' meant most of the exposed surfaces
were scraped, item 3810641214 for the curious.

Short range. I grabbed mine at AU$550 (about $400) considering that to be a
bargain for a minty example from a dealer - and never regretted it. A real
favorite. But then, it matches my distorted view of the world.
