ya missed out, Olympus' online store had them in stock until just a few hours ago. I found mine on ebay for retail price with free shipping from Korea, may give it a look!
yeah, I saw that. Oh well, they'll come back. I have a buddy in Seoul, civilian with the Air Force. He's got PX privileges. Checking to see if he can get one there
WARNING: watch out for this guy, jbuch84, on other forums He replied to my ad looking for an Oly 45/1.8. Glad he didn't have one He's been busted here and looks also as though he's been busted on the mu4/3 forum as well: accounts apparently yanked in both places.

I'm looking for an Olympus mu4/3 45mm f1.8. It must be in LN- condition without any marks on the body or on the front and rear elements. It must come with the original box. I have been looking all over for one of these, so, if you have one, I'm very interested. I'll need you to email me photos, a firm price, and your mailing address. TIA, tony
