Can't say that I have -- my total exposure to the lens and the OM2000 has
been strictly through ads and the like.
My current 35-70/4 is a) a bit loose on the focus & zoom, b) no detents or
"clicks" on the aperture settings, and c) is pretty bulky/heavy compared to
the Tokina 35-70 it replaced. I'm kinda trying to stick to Zuikos these
days if it's financially feasible, so this one caught my eye.
Anyone have any idea as to the sharpness/contrast of this lens?
Rgds,
Dave
