Jan,
I've owned one of these lenses for several years and have used it with my
OM-1, 2, & 4. It's one of the sharpest and most contrasty lenses that I
have, only paled in the telephoto group by my long-sold 350/2.8 Zuiko. I'd
really like to see a comparison against a Zuiko 180/2.8, but I sold that
one too in a fit of weakness several years ago.
I'd get another one of the Tamron's and stash it away if I could find it.
It's that good!
