Whats this lens worth, any ideas ?

[Subaru_WRC]

A fair while ago i used to have an Olympus OM2, i was sorting some stuff out the other day and came across one of my old lenses.

Its an Olympus Zuiko 28mm F3.5 Wide Angle Lens with hood, the lens has always had a Hoya 49mm filter on it. Its always been stored in a genuine Olympus leather tube hard case with flip top.

I`m just curious as to what its worth, it looks in good condition with just a few wear marks on the aperture ring, the optics look very good .....

I'd say around £15-£30 on ebay, maybe a little more if in excellent condition. Zuiko glass is top notch, but usually only the long focal length prime OM lenses fetch decent money.

its a nice lens. I have one and got it to pop it on my 450d with a convertor prior to lashing out on a siggy 10-20. I got mine for a tenner so they dont fetch a great deal.

Many thanks, i didn`t think they were worth a great deal, i was just curious to be honest. I may get a converter for it to use on my Canon 40D seeing as the glass seems to be so good.

No probs, happy to help.

I don't think many here would disagree about the quality of Zuiko glass and I am sure a converter for OM > Canon on this lens would yield great results. It's not the fastest lens, at f3.5, but you'll get pin sharpness from it...
