There are a whole bunch of 35-70's with the Zuiko name on them:

35-70/4 - This is an "S Zuiko" which signifies it is a consumer lens. It's 
still well built, I love mine.
35-70/3.6 - This is a "real" Zuiko, supposedly the best of the bunch
35-70/3.5-4.5 - Another S Zuiko. Very small and light. Probably better made 
than the 3.5-4.8
35-70/3.5-4.8 - This is an S Zuiko as well. Manufactured by Cosina and 
introduced as the "standard" lens with the OM-2000
35-70/4 AF - Optically similar to the 35-70/4, this lens includes sensors and 
motors to focus automatically.

There is also the S Zuiko 28-48/4 which is the widest zoom Oly made for the 
manual focus OMs.

Hope this helps
