Congrats!

I am a huge Zuiko fan and I now envy you!

I already own 35-70mm f3.6 (excellent as expected) and 100-200mm (suprisingly good!).

Yes, the el-cheapo 100-200/5 has surprisingly great sharpness and superb clarity and contrast. And the 35-70/3.6 needs no introduction Smile

two new members of my Zuiko family incoming...

50mm/2 macro coming from Switzerland, won it last friday

and

85-250mm/5 coming from USA...and coming...and coming... i've won it on 21st of November and still isn't here... i know that seller has sent it, got tracking number, and i know there was a backlog at customs because of Christmas and that snow has caused havoc in airplane traffic, but i'm starting to worry that it might be lost in transit... Confused

Nice, I seldom see 50mm/2 macro's on the bay. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking Smile

Do you have so many because you had trouble finding a good copy?

The 2.8/100 is a very handy lens. As small as a 50mm it fits in a pocket.
Zuiko to me though is wide angle. I hope the 24mm works out for you.
I have the f2/24 and it is indeed very good although some may not like the vignetting wide open. I love that Very Happy

No, they are all good optically and mechanically, I was just in search of a "flawless" one to keep. Smile I don't see a lot of sample variation with zuiko, although the early/late version can be quite different.

and how many copies do you have and how much did you spend for them?

I have gone through 5 or 6 copies already. They sold for around $400 BGN or $500 EX on KEH if there is one available. So your price is pretty decent. Of course sometimes you can find it hidden with OM4 for <$100 Wink

The snow had created a lot of problems but if too long ask for a copy of the shipping documents (adress..) because some seller ships the product to a false adress to have it back to them and meanwhile have the refund from ebay
