For $29, yeah, a bit much. But there's an outside chance it could be the 50/1.4.

I shot with the OM-mount Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f/1.8 on an OM-10 for over two decades. It's a great sharp tiny little lens, and I was quite happy to have it with me in Antarctica.

yeah, very nice.. interesting trip.
i also didnt see it when i looked a while back.


have fun with the 50 Michelle.. it is a fun little lens. i enjoy my f/1.8
$30 for a 1.8 and goodies is still a good deal.
i'd be keen to hear your thoughts on it

About 6 months ago, I picked up a OM10 with a 50mm f1.8, a 135mm f3.5 and a Oly T20 flash, all with the cases in great condition, in a camera bag, at a garage sale for $20.00. Takes great pics.

Am I mistaken? Weren't you a promoter of the "nifty fifty"? And you didn't even own one? (how'd you ever qualify as a moderator?!!)

I guess now you'll have some personal basis for the recommendation.

Thanks! I call it my postcard shot. Sadly, I seem to have put the freaking negative "somewhere safe". Maybe I'll find it in a decade or so. (sigh).

My Antarctica pictures aren't visible in my stream because I've been too lazy to good get scans of most of them. It was an awfully long time ago, and most of the pics I took with my then-brand-new ELPH. And finding a scanner that can deal with APS film is more than I want to deal with.
