35mm, 28mm or 24mm for use with an Olympus OM1

Would prefer a Zuiko, not fussed about the condition as I don’t have a huge budget.
Just if anyone has something of the above lying around they’d like to sell on.

Probably not what you are looking for, but there is a rather decrepit looking 50mm on feabay going for 10euro.

Other than that I had a look through my collection but only a 135mm that I would consider parting with.

All best wishes. P.S.

Cheers Paddysnapper, I do have a 50mm on it at the moment, just on the lookout for something a little wider.

Sinead.

PS. I’m not tempted by that 135. No. Not at all… Honestly. lol…

If I come across a wide angle I’ll let you know.

Great, thanks very much.
I should mention I don’t have a huge budget.

HI Sinead,

There is a sigma 28mm f2.8 multi coated >> item # 370270712215 on e-bay for about £60

Also a Zuiko 28mm f3.5 from germany for about the same on e-bay >> 360195632291

there is also a Sirius brand 28mm which will go for small money in about 15 hours > 260487811224

Also a Tokina 24 f2.8 for around £70 > 250454120175 or an RMC Tokina > 120469116997 for about £90

The 35 and 24 primes are well over the ton but I have read good reviews of the 28mm f3.5.

I had these bookmarked meself :)

I have a Sirius branded lens for the Canon FD system and the build quality is top notch dont know
much about the manufacturer though.

Happy hunting.

Thanks Alan.
I have been watching a few on ebay alright. One person who was selling a 28 f3.5 had a great review/comparison link in his post,
I’ll see if I can find that again.

I have Zuiko lust now…

I’ve had my ones forever, unfortunately for you, not for sale-
I might let you borrow some though,
but I’d need them back…

They’re part of me now…

now that’s good value-
presumably the ƒ/3.5, but a good lens-

Yes it’s f3.5 Zuiko…….. A good reliable company to deal with, I’m told….Not used them personally, yet

I have a Zuiko 28mm F2.8

I don’t use it very often so you’re more than welcome to take it for a few months.

Don’t be stubborn, I’ve barely used it and I’d rather see it put to good use.

Just PM me your address and I’ll send it up to you.

Thanks folks, I missed these posts.

ffords are apparently a great company to deal with.
I missed a 24 2.8 Zuiko on ebay last week, went for £65.00

Joseph – John – Thanks for the offers, but, I’m not a big fan of borrowing stuff from people. Am always worried about something happening to it.
I can be a clumsy at times….

I have a Zuiko 24 f2.8 with its case in pretty excellent shape if you’re still interested.
Near mint condition except for one tiny mark on the front element which doesn’t show in photos.
I’d be asking €75.00
I’m in Limerick.
