Steve,
I only know about possibly one of the lenses. You asked about the Soligor
19-35. I believe the same lens is sold under the Vivitar/Phoenix label. I
have been using the Phoenix version since February. Took it on a trip and
was very pleased with contrast and resolution. There is barrel distortion
at 19mm though, you can really see it when taking photos that have straight
lines.
On a different note, I was advised to avoid the 17-28 Vivitar, which I
notice you haven't mentioned- possibly for the right reasons.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [OM] Wide-angle zooms
Hello all,
The department I work for has a Canon EOS 500 (selected by my predecessor,
not
me) for taking pics for the staff newspaper and the like.
Rather than ask for money to buy a new camera, lens, flash, etc I figure it
might be easier to just ask for a new wide-angle zoom lens to augment the
28-80 we currently have.
Does anyone have experience/opinion of:
Tamron 20-40 f/2.7-3.5
Canon 20-35 f/3.5-4.5 (there might be someone out there with both OM and
EOS!)
Sigma 18-35 f/3.5-4.5
Soligor 19-35 f/3.5-4.5
Regards,
Steve W
