Wonder where they are getting them from, because they keep selling out, then putting up a new auction. I bought one (waiting on delivery) when they only had 3 , then they sold out. Now they have 9 more..

B&H has them on sale ($100 off) for $250. These doods have them for $150.
Let's see if it is real.

It showed up today and it is very real! Brand new in box, with all the protective tape still on it. B&H currently lists it at $324 on sale from $399.

Very happy indeed. Thank you ebay!

This is a crazy good lens. And those prices are crazy good too. I have had one for several years and it just performs.

Daisy modelled for me so I could test it to make sure it works correctly.
f1.8, 1/100 sec, ISO 2500 omd-em10mkii



Tiny super sharp lens that is just wonderful and so easy to use. Highly recommended

Great for carrying on the motorbike in the middle of nowhere:

Where I am when stuff like this happens? Sold out, 125€ is a crazy deal indeed.
Kit zooms go for around that amount as well.

Thanks for posting this listing. I was unsure whether it was too good of a deal, but decided to go for it before they sold out. This lens has been on my wish list. It arrived yesterday, definitely new and unused, and works great on my GX8 - fast, sharp, and tiny.

Glad you could get in on it! Seemed too good to be true, but it was true!
Absolutely love this lens, and what an insane deal!
