Too big a lens for me to carry around on a daily basis so I'm happy to swap against an interesting lens. A high quality wide angle would be most useful for me at the moment (preferably 30mm or less), but don't let that stop you from contacting me if you have something interesting to swap.

Glass is very good on the lens: scratch- and fungus free, coating looks good. Some minimal dust particles inside. Mechanically perfect. Some wear on the lens body (see pictures).

The lens is C-mount, and I've tested it on my Oly E-PL5. I did a post with some test shots, which shows the strong points and limitations when used on a m4/3 camera:

A 'comparison' against the Nikkor HC 85/1.8:

A safe swap (for example backed up by paypal) would be preferably for me.
