<< At the local camera store
there is an Olympus name brand one for $150 ( which I will be happy to
buy for anyone here that wants it), and then there is a Tokina 35-105 in
an Olympus mount which is identical but half the price and in better
shape to boot! If it's the same lens then I think I'll save money by
buying the Tokina version. I'll take a look and see by comparing them
if they are really the same, (the tokina is 3.5/4.3, while the Olympus
is 3.5/4.5).

I had a Tokina 35-135 that I thought took good pictures. Then I found the
35-105 Zuiko. That's good pictures.
Is there any reason why one of the world's best lens makers would put its name
on a lens that is made by someone else???
The Zuiko 35-105 is a Zuiko lens. It is in the Olympus product books and
pamplets as a Zuiko lens. It looks like, handles like, and shoots like an
Olympus Zuiko lens.
Why would you think differently? Have you any shred of evidence to the
contrary?
