Here in Prague I can buy Olympus OM Zuiko 18mm f/3.5. However I am short on budget thus not able to fund it, so I can relay the lens to some member if interested.

I inspected the lens today:
- it is lens+caps only, maybe leather box. unfortunately not the original 49-72mm step-up ring to use filters:(
- the mechanics is flawless, everything is working fine
- there is very little dust between lenses and one particle of dust/inside colour on one lens inside
- the lenses are free of scratches, the back lens is 100% OK, the front lens has some minor cleaning marks

The price the guy is asking is 550€. The cost of shipping worldwide is between 25-40€.

If you´re interested in buy, let me know and I can relay the item to you.

Lot of film camera did keep away me from 5D ,I still like better to use most of them than digital bodies.

Is that a a good price??!!

I would say it´s below ussual prices (700€ and more, ussualy around 800€), but if you add shipping costs overseas and customs/taxes it´s not that good deal.

Also not forget that in EU the prices are higher - interesting is that it also applies to secondhand items, I don´t know why

Even with P&P at E40, it's still cheaper than a current auction on eBay that has still got 2 days to run (price there is now over $825, with postage to add after that). That one looks like it is in very good condition, and has the original step-ring too. But the price just keeps climbing - someone is going to get a very nice present this Christmas!! It won't be me....

$899 was the winning bid on that auction, then add postage.
Anyone getting this relay is in for a comparative "bargain".
