I recently acquired a konica hexanon 40mm f 1.8 and a tamron 90mm f 2.5 macro - combined price (including adapters, filters, etc) of about $300 USD. Considering that the closest m43 analogues, the oly 45mm 1.8 and the oly 75mm 1.8 would take me for about $1300 new, I'm pretty pleased with the results....

Yeah but ... yeah but ... in the end I got the mZuiko 45mm anyway!

Money saved = Nil!

Actually my first 50mm was a Cosina 50mm for my e-410 to save £300 on buying the Zuiko 50mmF2Macro, so I did save there,

but old lenses only put off the inevitable for about a year in micro4/3rds world...
