I'd like to sell an OM 50mm f/1.2 to make back some of the money I
just spent on a Nikon D700.  I bought this lens brand new last year
and have maintained it in excellent condition.

Please see this listing for the details ->
http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/666415/0?keyword=zuiko#5947967

Asking price for list members is $410 shipped and PayPal'd.

Thanks,
Amin Sabet

A very nice price. I'd buy it if I had the money.

Bill,

As the seller, I am obviously biased, but I hope you don't mind me
responding with the rest of the crowd.  I recognize that this isn't
the lowest asking price.  I recall someone selling two of these for
$300 each on list, which I thought was an extremely good price.  To be
frank, I'd rather continue to use and enjoy the lens than sell it at
that good of a price.  I chose a number based on what I paid, what I
generally see them go for, and what it's worth to me to keep the lens.

I've uploaded high res photos of the lens to my Flickr account here ->
http://www.flickr.com/photos/asabet/sets/72157606171474833/detail/

For those not familiar with Flickr, click on the image, then "All
sizes", then "Original" to view at largest size.

Thanks,
Amin

Actually, if I didn't already have one, I'd probably buy yours.  If  someone
is using the system, it is one that should at least be on their list of  
potential acquisitions.  Bill Barber

One of the pieces of OM gear I never "got". I have a 50/1.4 >1,085,000
in EX+ condition. I paid $66 incl. shipping.

It's a great lens. I've used it many times, including my last TOPE. Used
it again today. Will one of those shots make the next TOPE? Maybe. I
think you will see at least one somewhere soon.

How much is one third of a stop worth? A lot more to some other folks
than to me.

I suppose you are right that the 50/1.4 hits the value sweet spot
between the f/1.8 and the f/1.2 versions.  The 50/1.2 is remarkably
compact for an f/1.2 lens, so size wasn't a compelling reason for me
to choose the f/1.4 lens.  Having not owned the 50/1.4, I can only say
that I have been very impressed with the performance of the 50/1.2.
Some day I'll buy another copy of this lens.  Right now I've got a
sale pending with this one, and I will miss it.

Regards,
Amin

I saw recently and email about taking pictures of a pond at different
times and the discussions of the 7-14mm which is my most used lens at
the moment. so here is a picture of our very nearly completed swim pond
(some of you will remember this) taken with the 7-14mm.

http://thattimeoflife.smugmug.com/gallery/4685260_iEgiA#330935407_emR4c-A-LB

I had to face reality and get a firm to put the liner in and they redid
the w(hole) thing, I was disappointed that I couldn't complete the
project myself but we are very pleased with the result. It will take a
while for the plants to establish but it looks good now. The company was
excellent - its a shame the people working on our house extension didn't
have the same attitude to care and quality

Very interesting.  What keeps the water clean in a closed system without
chlorine as would be used in a conventional swimming pool?  The plants?

Well another item on the Moose not "gotton" list with rationales very clear and worthy of the list logician.
My mental logging of the items include the OM3Ti, Z .90 f2 and the Z.50 f1.2.? Perhaps they're others?.?I don't have these items either, but I suppose could be tempted at the "right" price.

Hmm, strange I posted this reply yesterday, but it never appeared on the
list - I am not so confident using gmail.



Yes, it sort of works like a big fish aquarium. though fish are not allowed

It was started in Austria I believe, you can read more here, if it comes
up with the german page you can switch to English, although if you can
read german there is more information on the german pages

Brilliant! It's a "living machine" you can swim in. An artificial  
wetland. Very cool. I have a client I talked out of doing a pool  
because of the issues with chlorine, energy use, etc. This could be an  
interesting option. I wonder if anyone is doing it in the States. They  
don't have "partners" here yet, it doesn't appear.

Thanks!

There is still a lot of air borne dirt that enters a pool.  I assume
that this still requires vacuuming like a more conventional pool?

We didn't want a clinically clean pool but saying that it should stay
clear once equilibrium has been met. I think the swimming area will need
periodic vacuuming, and  it does have a pump blowing air into the water
to aireate and also a skimmer to remove the leaves etc. but other than
that it should require less maintenance than a pool and we can iceskate
on it in the winter :-)
