I was lucky enogh to win a very clean 42/1.2 a few weeks ago at the evil place. I really can't get over the performance of the lens, and combined with the small form factor---well I love the thing.

the lens covers the aps-c sensor perfectly :)

if anyone is looking to slim down their lens collection, please let me know.

Cost for this one was 520USD at auction. Ding on filter ring, but threads are good. Glass is perfect, aside from odd dust specs.

Worth every penny to me :)

You know, if you picked up a Pen F body, you could alternate film and digital

Great price. I had the 40/1.4 for a while, that's a nice one, too.

Hello,If you get chance of a 38mm f3.5 Macro Zuiko in nice condition, do get it,it's a fabulous lens,and you won't regret your purchase.

TY, it's on my list, I hear its really nice macro, however not so fantastic at infinity?

Also getting the idea the 38/1.8 is pretty good :)
