I haven't seen the 12mm that low on eBay lately, seen it as a refurb on Oly's site for $475 a couple times this year tho, or "used - like new" on Amazon/Adorama occasionally for $500-550... More like $620 at KEH tho I guess their used condition rating might be more honest? Their shipping rates to Puerto Rico suck tho.

Dunno, I've been meaning to jump on it whenever Oly puts up some refurbs again but they usually only last a couple hours (same with the 75mm) and I got sidetracked and missed miserably last time it was available. Is there any sort of schedule for how often they refresh their refurbished outlet store? Seems it happens in batches...

You can buy the 12mm on ebay and you're protected by the "not as described" clause on ebay if the seller is misleading about the quality of the lens. My copy of the 12mm only cost me $550, people rarely bid on them.

I guess KEH or somewhere like that would have to be more honest, but you do have significant protection on ebay.
