TCW (The Camera Workshop) has quite a few.....

Thanks, will give them a call. btw, does anyone know about the pricing? for instance, 50mm/F1.8.

Should be in the $10s. The lengedary ones are the wide angles and the telephotos. Go search on the net. The 50 also quite famous.

Hm..Checked with Prime Camera. The lenses are not cheap.

Ya, that is why I only mentioned TCW. They are more reasonable.

i feel that s'pore got not much OM lens to choose. if u can find the OM 90mm macro lens, go get it. the very best in the OM line up but be warn, its very expensive... :devil:

 

[boochap]

dun be surprise if you find OM lens are ex$ in sg...go do some research in the ebay u'll know.

many of my OM lenses were from ebay.. almost all of them bought at price much lower than those qouted in sg... including the 90 macro, 180mmf2.8, 300/135/24mm, etcetc..

why? i guess because sg has no market for OM, thus ppl qoute prices with no reference, like nobody business.

 

[vibnwis]

yeah, ebay has plenty.
