I have here a nice Olympus Zuiko 180mm f2.8 with case, caps, and filter.

This is really a sweet lens. The focusing is buttery smooth. The grip is large and it is well balanced. It has a built-in lens hood. Its in beautiful condition.
There is some internal dust, as is common in vintage lenses. But it does not appear to affect performance, as I have some example photos take with my NEX.
You can see from the examples that this lens is sharp wide open, and is best at f5.6-f11. After that diffraction starts creeping in, as is expected.
It stops all the way down to f32 as well.

I am an Olympus OM guy. While I would like to have a more complete collection, I am more of a user. And i need to clear out some gear (so i can buy more).
I am offering this lens for what I paid for it, which is $275. Thanks!

And here are some examples. Remember, this is on a sensor smaller than a 35mm frame and the sharpness holds up well.
I really like the color balance as well.
