Interesting "bakeoff." For a while the 35-70/f3.5-4.5 was my only Zuiko;
it is still the only one I ever bought new. It has always made me feel
like I'm a lucky guy.

We had quite a bit of discussion on this topic about a year ago (maybe a
little less than a year). Quick and dirty, you can just figure out some
sort of simple correction, but there was some suggestion that the
correction is not precisely linear. I think John Hermanson was testing
this, but I don't recall if he made a definitive report.
Anyway, Welcome back!
