The Olympus OM cult

What Olympus OM gear have you bought recently

#151
Got a deal on a 50mm f2 macro. Man thats a nice lens.
Also got a OM1 in black, nice but I am looking for a pristine one.
 
#153
Picked up a Zuiko 8mm fish eye recently. Fun! Also after a long hunt a Quick 300 flash for the collection. Was wondering if it was real.
 
#154
Nice find Ron! Have you played around with it at all?

I finally scored a 24mm f2 for a decent price. That really completes everything i want except for the 100mm f2.
 
#155
Did get the 8mm out to use with an OM-D. Fun lens. Also used my 1000mm on an OM-D shooting the blood moon awhile back. Actually worked very well. Just completed my collection of the the original 31 OM lenses with the addition of the 18mm f3.5. Mini milestone. Also added the 50mm f2 Macro to the stable. 9 lenses left to go.

Stridor. 24mm wide angle was the first lens I bought for my OM-1n and 2n. Probably the lens I used the most.
 
#157
Since resurrecting my OM-2s a couple of weeks ago (locked mirror, wouldn't advance) I've picked up an 85-250 f5 zoom off eBay and a 35-70mm f3.5 zoom from KEH. Both very nice condition. Also a T20 flash. Next up is a 24 or 28 wide angle. Already have a 135 f2.8 telephoto so this will complete my arsenal, for the time being.
 
#159
It's been awhile since I've visited or posted. I'll see if anyone is listening. Finally "completed my OM camera collection with a OM-3TI. Now have one of every thing from the M-1 on. Also added a 350 f2.8 what a fun if huge lens.

On my OM2N I have the 50/1.4, does it make sense for me to get the 55/1.2 as well?

Likewise, I have the 100/2.8, but I've heard the 100/2 is magical. Am I really missing anything?

Can't say anything about the 100/2 but I have the 90/2 macro that is WOW sharp and it focus out to infinity. Can't really say anything about the 50/1.4 vs the 55/1.2 although I have both have never shot with the 55. The 100/2 is next on my radar though. Like the 90 it can be a tad expensive.

Have just bought an early OM1 MD with 50/1.4 lens at the local auction house. Absolute jewel of a camera and I can see why I lusted after one 40 odd years ago. Just waiting for the replacement light seal kit to arrive so that I can run some FP4 through it.

My cult fixation with its newest 'fix'

Picked up a nice copy of an OM Zuiko 24mm 2.0 off of Craigslist. Taking it out for a spin this weekend.
 
#166
I have had a look at the British 'Craiglist' but all i see are adverts from Girls wanting to sell photos of their feet or their panties !
 
#167
And I thought those feet pictures and used sock ads were an American thing. Actually I've has success finding good deals on photo gear on Craigslist. Last year I got a mint Hasselblad 503cw with latest 80mm and an A12 back for $1200. And the Zuiko 50mm 2.0 macro for cheap. However I am running out of wall space for hanging all these feet pictures.
 
#170
I have a OM 1n, OM 2n, OM2 SP and OM 4Ti with the flashes T20, T32 and F280.
I bought now the TTL AUTO Connector Type 4 and the TTL Auto Cord T to use the T32 separated from the camera
