Actually, the 35-70 *is* on my "gotta get it someday" list. I'm keeping
my eyes open for one, but haven't seen one for sale lately. Probably
just as well, though, as I'm *trying* to save for the OM-4(T) and all these
other "goodies" keep depleting the funds. <G>

It wasn't on the list until I shot that roll and saw the results. Like I said,
not quite as crisp as the 28/2.8 but darned nice. And, I *really* like that
extra angle of view! The clincher, though, was the price... I really
*wasn't* expecting the salesperson to agree with my offer! Just thought
I'd throw it out and see what the counter-offer was.
Anyway, I'm going to ask if he'll hold it awhile while I scrounge up the
cash to buy it outright. He's got it "hidden" for me until next payday, so
maybe he'll keep it stashed for awhile longer. Hope so! Now I want
BOTH the 24/2.8 AND my 28/2.8!!!!
Regards,
Chris
P.S. Don't MAKE me hafta deny that I'm hooked again!!! <G>
