I have some stuff I am considering parting with:

Olympus E-620 body bought in Korea recently, no box.
Zuiko 14-54 F/2.8-3.5 II
Zuiko 50-200 F/2.8-3.5 I

Everything is in really nice shape. Not likely to find too many people interested, but I thought I would ask before I brought the stuff to see what I can get at Namdaemun on the weekend.
Thanks,
Dave.

I picked up a Zuiko 14-54 F/2.8-3.5 II a month ago. Too bad this wasn't up earlier. I think we camera hobbyists should put up a sticky somewhere or FB where we can list our gear for potential trades/buys. Good luck with the sale.

have you tried or looked at the 50-200? it's awesome. The color and depth is unlike anything I have tried since I have started playing with DSLR gear a couple of years ago. It wasn't cheap however, that's for sure.

I have a micro 4/3 camera and it's hard to invest in a long zoom right now. I would love it if I had some extra change lying around. Olympus makes some great glass, and I'm pretty sure the 50-200mm is nothing but spectacular.

actually yeah, I have the 14-54 mounted on an e-pl1 at the moment, and the 50-200 mounted on the E-620. Makes for a bit of heft in the bag, but not having to switch lenses, and the extra battery I have fitting in both cameras works out really nice. Not even sure I am extra keen on selling everything, just looking at perhaps lightening the bag at the moment. Thinking about putting a 40-150 micro 4/3rds, or a 14-150 micro on the e-pl1. any experience there?

No, I don't have any experience with any other zoom lenses, but I was reading about someone who used the 14-150 on a Panasonic and it was too much for a walk around, so instead got a 14-45. I'm not certain, but I don't think you would be able to get stabilization with it on a e-p1. But if you were to go into HD video, it's a must have lens.
