I'm selling an Olympus OM 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom.
Was told a UV filter was on this lens since it was new. I almost wonder if the lens was never taken off the body I bought it with either as both the front and rear elements look immaculate. But that is only conjecture.
Glass is excellent. The barrel does show some external wear (see silver nick in barrel in pictures below) but is still overall in good condition. Pull zoom is smooth as is focus and the close-focus lever. The aperture ring is at the back of the lens and not at the front so it is in more of an awkward spot than my primes. It feels stiff to me at times, whether by virtue of its position or because it isn't smooth like it once presumably was, I do not know.
See pictures below.
I think $65 shipped with Hoya UV filter, Olympus leather lens pouch, and original instruction booklet is fair.
