In a word, YES!
Of all the 35-70 Zuiko zooms the 3.6 is consistently rated the best, and the
new "S" f3.5-4.8 the least.  Some would go as far as to say the new S Zuiko
f3.5-4.8 isn't really a Zuiko........

The additional weight and bulk of the f/3.6 is, IMHO, more than offset by
the superior image sharpness and contrast of the other models.  Yet another
shining example of "ya get whats ya pays for".
