FS: Olympus Pen F G.Zuiko 70mm f/2

[Godfrey]

I'm selling a very clean, EXC++ Olympus Pen F G.Zuiko 70mm f/2 lens.

I don't have either Pen F front or rear caps for it. I'll include a Micro-FourThirds mount adapter and Micro-FourThirds rear cap as well as a B+W metal telephoto lens hood.

This is a delightful lens, the right long-portrait telephoto focal length and speed for a lot of different subject matter. It focuses close (about 18" or so) and is very sharp. They're somewhat hard to find: this is a fine example.

Price is $495 or best offer, including USPS insured shipping and paypal fees in the USA. For those wanting to purchase outside the USA, please pm me for a quote including shipment.

(Why, for those who care:
Since buying the Olympus E-5, I've decided to concentrate my work using that and simplify my equipment kit. All Micro-FourThirds equipment ... body, lenses and accessories ... is available for sale.)

Hi, I'm interested on your lens. How much cost to ship to Spain? Could you send me some photos of the lens? my email is [email protected].

Thanks.

A few folks have asked me about this lens in the past week or so but as yet no one has decided to buy it so it is still available. On that basis, I will be posting it to Ebay for auction tomorrow evening, so I made some photographs of it for that ... I figured I'd post them here first so anyone thinking about it can take a look and get back to me quickly:

It's a lovely lens. Enjoy!

I've no doubt you'll sell the lens on ebay. I recently sold my Pen F 20mm lens on ebay after I didn't get any bites here. Quite a bit higher price than I asked here as well!

Godfrey, any examples taken with it wide open?

I don't normally take test photos. These are all on my flickr.com stream:

I most normally stop older lenses like this down one to two stops for best sharpness, but this lens performs well wide open too if you use a deep lens hood (included).
