I would love to try this on the E-P1......

Might be of interest to stateside friends - postage costs are a bit high for me in blighty ($50)

--- only one day left on auction though -----

$150+$50=$200, that's still a good price, as I've seen these sell for more than GBP300, but please note that you may have to pay VAT upon entry in EU, and american sellers will usually not forge papers in order to show lower prices in the customs declaration. So, even if it stays at $150, you may end paying $240, that's a rough estimate and does not include any additional taxes the UK government has decided to collect.

Sorry, I did not see this:

Mechanically, all upper shutter speeds are accurate, but 4th, half and 1 second will lock up the shutter.

I think this will reach $200 plus postage - worse bodies with the more common 38mm f1.8 are going for about $150 and some recently, haven't seen many f1.4 at all...

Unfortunately I have spent way past my budget on MF lenses over the last month or so - will have to let this one pass.
