Hi Gary:
<< IMHO, the 35-70mm F3.5-4.5 is a great little lens, although it cannot beat
the true champ -- Zuiko 35-70 mm F3.6. >>
My fading memory tells me that the Modern Photography lens tests had the 4.0
with higher overall numbers than the 3.6 and the 3.5-4.5 bettering them both.
But I DO realize that they were single sample reports and the testing
standards (if you could call them standards) differed over time. At any rate
I threw out the copies to allow me to concentrate on right-brain photography.
:)
<< According to the esteemed John H., the 35-70mm F3.5-4.5 was manufactured
for OLY by Tokina. >>
A Tokina contract, eh? Good thing I like Tokina. They made a 60-120 mm F/2.8
ATX I'd love to have. I got my neighbor to buy one. He doesn't shoot enough
for me to determine if it is good, though.
