I would think that a refurbished lens runs a higher risk of having been returned due to being on the poorer end of sample variance. Buying new lenses, from overseas or anywhere else, eliminates that risk. Obviously you may still get a bad copy but the chances are reduced.

Just a theory but it seems to make sense.

Reasonable theory.  Hasn't been my experience, but it's certainly possible.

Fortunately Olympus has a 30 day return period on any of these purchases, so you just risk the cost of return shipping to them.

Images are about emotion. Technical perfection is nice, but does not stand by itself.
