OM Zuko f/2.0 85mm MC (3rd version, serial no. 214013).
This will be my last OM lens.
(I had the f/2.8 180mm before, but it seems to be not one of Olympus best lenses, a lot of competing lenses in this FL are better)

Just received a Nikon 28/2.8 AIS, got a couple of small marks on the front element but the price was less than half the usual ebay prices. Love the tiny MFD of this lens. This also prompted me to pick up another used Rayqual Nik-Eos adapter, love the quality of the rayqual and used at less then half price I just had to get another one.

If you ever feel the need to rehome one of your APO's, my Leica 180/3.4 APO is feeling lonely
I'm not planning on parting with any of my APOs soon, but it looks like another FM member has just posted a CV 180/4 on the Buy&Sell board; with it's wonderful close-focus capabilities, it could be a great complement to your lonely Leica APO.

Only a psuedo-alt (i.e. no adapter/conversion needed) ...
Sigma 100-300/4 ... the complement for my Mamiya 150/2.8 A
While the Sigma has HSM AF and plays quite nice with my 1D MK II N ... the manual focus on it is VERY NICE ... solid feel and precise, not sloppy like so many AF lenses. Quick AF and very deliberate MF in the same piece ... I'm diggin' it.

The fun really starts when you start planning....maybe I should get a Mamiya 645 AFD to go along with the lens...then I can keep my eye's open for a 'cheap' digital back.....

Thanks RustyBug, but I actually was already a member (120/4 Macro). I was actually intending to pick up the 150/2.8 A, but ended up with the 3.5 through a communication problem (hence the "I wasn't planning this..") The lens isn't the 2.8A, but it seems to give a decent IQ, and it's quite compact for a 150mm.

Don't say "Mamiya 645 AFD and digitial back" ... I'm really trying very hard to avoid THAT slippery slope. My local chapter of 'gear-aholics-anonymous' has REPEATEDLY warned me about the inevitable perils of such talk.
