The OMD items are definitely on the depressed price list. I read 'holding
value but just not moving' as being overpriced, but I'm not a native
speaker ;-).

Before I sold it, I tested my 11-22 against the 12-40 (at around 10 feet).
It was *slightly* sharper wide open in the very center, but apart from that
the 12-40 ruled the rest of the frame and from F4...
(I'm not a professional tester of course, so YMMV...)
