Zuikoholic

"My name is Sam, and I am a Zuikoholic" :-)


Classic 35mm camera with a sweet little lens! The 40mm f/2 Zuiko
is a gem that has become quite rare and expensive on the used market.
Apparently, it was a favorite of photographer Sally Mann. Thankfully,
I got mine a few years back, in a bag full of Olympus OM gear and all
for $175 bucks! :-)

Tip: Although the 40mm f/2 Zuiko is a sweet little lens, I do not think
it is worth the prices it is commanding at the current time. If you can't
find one for under $500, don't bother. My advice: Save your money.

You are ahead of the power curve, the old manual focus lenses are going way up! Great SP.

Fantastic sp. Love the act of focusing, a dying technique, I believe. Great lighting. v

Hello, Sam, we are here to help you.
Of course, I don't think there is a cure!
Very cool sp.
