Hi Rand E:
> According to the
> present info on the FAQ the "S" line of lens include the 100-200f5, the
> 35-70f4, the 35-70f3.5-4.5, and the 28-48f4
That info is a bit outdated now. Add to it the 35-70mm f/3.5~4.8 and the
70-210mm f/4.5~5.6
One should take that S stuff with a grain of salt. For example, the 35-70mm
f/4.0 Zuiko Auto Focus Zoom (a fine example of which I'm putting up for sale
within the next two days) is the same optical construction* (plus a prism or
pellicle) as the 35-70mm f/4 S Zuiko Zoom. And the 100-200mm f/5.0 S Zuiko
Zoom is a fine performer, indeed. In retrospect, the very first OM System
Zuiko Zoom, the 75-150mm f/4.0, probably deserved an "S" moniker.

* OK, If you read this far, I'll accept the fact that a single element in the
formula is a bit thicker in the AF version, perhaps to compensate for the
prism or give increased back focus to allow for a prism in the light path.
