M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 very cheap in Switzerland

Hey guys,

Despite all the doom and gloom (which IMHO can easily become an unfortunate self-fulfilling prophecy), I want to keep enjoying this wonderful system, even expanding my collection when possible.

To that end, I just got a lens that's been my dream for ages, the 75mm M.Zuiko; it's CHF495 in Switzerland right now, one of the best prices I've seen it sold new, ever (that's around 520 USD today) : https://shop.heinigerag.ch/products/201320

If you live in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and ever wondered if you should get this lens, do it now!

Unfortunately I might be able to enjoy it only next year: I'm from Brazil,  my cousin is Swiss and I had scheduled a trip to visit her next month, so I asked her to receive it for me. Alas, Brazil's terrible version of Trump resulted in COVID19 related EU travel bans, so my trip and lens will have to wait until next year.

Still, I'm super excited to take this trip in 2021 and have this dream lens waiting for me and my cameras when I arrive.

Cheers

I would buy one, if it was lighter.

Wow! That's about as much as I just paid for a used copy.

What I didn't realise is how small the lens is, it's really quite cute. The pictures make it look much bigger.

Silver was down to ~$390 USD the other day on Amazon Australia and i still didn't budge

120% it will drop further.

I've been wanting to get a black version for a while. The EOFY sales had it down as low as  AUD $718 at digiDirect but it's back up to about AUD $830 now.

It's $698 aud atm from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00CI3TQSO/ref=twister_B00CPGG8RG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&coliid=ITC3RFJP5NXOH&colid=1JS5Z09UQJLCR

and as said the silver version was $565 AUD couple of days ago....

Be patient thou, all Olympus gear will drop further, so don't rush in is my advice.
