Total came to $290USD including shipping and taxes. Very good condition - minor scuffs and scratches, dust inside and all that - with original lens hood but generic caps. If the seller had cleaned the lens up and posted better product shots, he probably would have gotten more $$.

Focus ring is very smooth, so far in my brief testing the subject snaps into focusing nicely. But i have doubts I am capable of showing "how good it is"

I always think of you out there with BIG lenses! This 63B is a bit smaller than I thought it would be, which is nice.

That feels like a great price for the condition and I'm happy to see whatever you create.

Wow!!!! I have never seen one, or heard of anybody who has one. Great find!

This has great reviews, we await your proof of its capability, we know you will do it justice.

Whilst not in the same league as the Anniversary Edition (and very few are), I did pick up a nice SP70-210mm F/3.5 19AH this morning.

It is destined for use on the ME Super but I'll test run it on the EM1 MkII just to check everything is as it should be.

Surprisingly light zoom action yet no creep at all. It is a substantial piece of equipment especially with the lens hood fitted.

Congrats! I like my 19AH a bunch, the close-focus ability is particularly useful.
