as I wrote in another thread, I had the good fortune of being given an Olympus OM-2n. It sports a Sigma 75-300mm and a motor drive. This makes a camera reputed for being small look quite large. I don't see any use for either (for what I want to do with this camera) so I will try to sell the lens and motor drive. Can anyone recommend a good spot to sell OM gear? I suppose I'll try here and pnet. In the mean time, I scored a nice Zuiko 24mm/f2.8 on the Bay which I think will make this an interesting kit. I went with the 24 as I already have other kits that cover 28, 35 and 50.

I have been shooting a lot of digital recently and I look forward to trying this out.

Cheers,

Given your situation, I'd probably give away the Sigma lens (Goodwill or Salvation Army), and keep the motor drive if it's working, it's quite fun in practical use.
 
The 50mm f.3,5 Macro is great! And it makes the gearbag complete together with a "not-so-good-close-focus-abilities" rangefinder.
 
Mich,

Pick up an 85/2 or a 100/2.8 and your system is complete. Skip the Zuiko 50s as they are more of a body cap, not the best Zuikos ever made.

Try a under $100 add here, lots of OM lovers. Put the lens for $30 and shipping and the motor for under what they are going for on EvilBay (check completed listing only). This should fund some of a medium telephoto for your kit.
