Free is a great price BD!:) I didn?t think this was your system so don?t take this personally! At B&H which is where I'd get it from: Olympus 300mm f/2.8 ED Lens for Olympus E-1 Digital Camera (Four Thirds System Compatible) $6,495.95 That's a 2.8. Not an f2! Priced for as if it's a 600 perhaps which in effect it is! Canon Imp Telephoto EF 300mm f/2.8L IS Image Stabilizer USM Autofocus Lens $3,799.95! I'll take two!! You can get the same in f4 for $1,119.95 Konica-Minolta Telephoto AF 300mm f/2.8 APO G Autofocus Lens $3,549 Nikon Telephoto AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8D ED-IF II Autofocus Lens - imp $3,599.95 The option of course is to put your old Olympus Zuiko 4.5 on it which now runs for about 6 or 7 hundred bucks. Although how easy that might be to focus I don?t know. Pentax?USA $5,152.50 Telephoto SMCP-A* 300mm f/2.8 ED IF Manual Focus Len WOW! Sigma USA $2,299.00 Telephoto 300mm f/2.8 EX APO Autofocus Lens for Minolta Maxxum Other focal lengths: Olympus 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 ED Lens List Price: $949.00 Our Price:$799.95 Mfr. Mail-In Rebate:$80.00 Price After Rebate: $719.95 Everything in the system has a rebate. The 50 f2 macro List Price: $599.00 Our Price: $499.95 Mfr. Mail-In Rebate: $50.00 Price After Rebate: $449.95 Priced as the high tech item it undoubtedly is. The first review I read said it focused particularly bad with the camera. But great for portraits if you just focused it yourself! The last two lenses look up yourselves! Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon New-improved http://rabinergroup.com/
