I expect the emperical data for the Zuikos are superior to any third-party
maker. All my Zuikos have consistently outstanding quality about them - the
"hard" performance like contrast and sharpness - as well as the more
subjective things like finish and feel. A Zuiko lens just feels better in
my hands. My sole dislike of the big Tokina is it's soft feel; the focus is
just too light for my liking. Every Zuiko feels precise - firm and
positive - not tight or loose. But I think I need to borrow a 300mm Zuik
for a few days and do a side by side comparison. Any volunteers to send me
their prized 300 f/4.5 for a little while??????
