Very rarely find true bargains down here but came across this today at the local vide grenier ( car boot sale to you lot !
) which was in a disgusting state covered in sticky coffee ( i think), dust, hairs etc .
Fortuanatly the front element has been preserved with a filter and original lens cap , the rear element is good too thanks to it's original cap.
The case is original, marked Olympus OM system 35-70mm F/3.6 and has also cleaned up quite well.
Focusing and zoom rings are smooth. Aperture ring locates itself positively at all settings.
The only minor fault I can see with it is a very slight creaping of oil on the aperture blades but for 7 euros ( the equivalent of about £5) and an hour of cleaning, i reckon i've picked myself up a nice little zoom to compliment my present OM kit
