Well, not many questions, just one - I just wanted to see what the  
members owning one has been up to with it, .i.e. to see some sample  
images :-) But Fernando, you should know that this list goes through  
different micro-phases all the time. I have seen the 350/2.8 being  
discussed a lot in the past also, by looking at the list archives.

Also, the 250/2.0 has the ultra-coolness-factor, since it's optically  
the best Zuiko ever made, and it's an f/2, and there were apparently  
very, very few made. Of the 350/2.8, there were only "few made" :-)  
Kind of an "ultimate" lens, and just that little bit more special/ 
exotic to most people, since there is in today's modern lens lineups  
absolutely no equivalent, even though there are plenty 300/2.8 and  
400/2.8 lenses.

But really, I was just wanting to see some samples, have still only  
seen a small handful. And no Black+White film samples :-(
