If you do think a lens with different optical construction is
similar, then I agree with you, at least they are both 35-105mm
f3.5-4.5. I have both lenses, the AF 35-105 at 35mm end have much
higher barrel distortion when compared to the Zuiko 35-105 and their
rear lens elements are completely different.
