Finally pulled the trigger on the Lux 80! 1280 euros for a near mint early version. Works out to like $1850 CAD which is pretty harsh but it looks to be in great shape.

Though I hope that cloudy stuff is just a bit of schmutz on the outer element.

^^^ Agreed.
I added a C/Y Sonnar 135/2.8. It, the 35/2.8 and 85/2.8 make a sweet and light little walk-around kit.

Is that a T32
I had one of those, great little flash! Ah no, it is the ring flash. Nice!
Not a lens, but I just ordered a plain matte Maxwell screen for my Hy6.

the zuiko definitely has very different bokeh than the rokkor and the nikkor.
it's sharp and quite small though.
We'll see by the end of the week If I have the energy I will shoot the Rokkor, Contax 50/1.7, Nikkor 50/1.2, newly acquired Oly 50/1.2 and a friend's 50 Lux E60 in a head to head comparison.

I think they call that lens a Zuiko...it's sharp and quite small though.

Hah Jim. I just snagged a SMC Pentax 3.5/35 off eBay this morning to go along with the SMC Pentax 3.5/28 I got a week or two ago. The 35 is supposed to be near mint, and I think I got it for a really good price.
Funny about the timing of your post Jim!

I finally found a Topcor R 9cm f3.5 only took 2 1/2 years to find one, not counting Kevincameras, and cheaper too.
I just received my lens, it's in good shape, and sharp wide open, it does need a relube however.

Oh dear, too many lenses.
I put (what I thought was) a low bid on a quite rare Minolta MD 24-50 f4 and got it.
Well, I always can sell it on if I don't like it.
