Thanks Greg, I didn't know much about Tamron lenses,
seems they've got a good reputation. I wouldn't
consider myself a lens "snob" and even though I'd
prefer just to buy Zuiko glass, its a bit expensive
considering I'm just an amateur at the moment and I
don't even have a job at present!! As long as
something delivers good imagine quality (I shoot
Kodachrome 64/T-max 100) I'm happy!
I would like a nice wide angle lens though, at present
my widest is 28mm (fixed focal length) and I'd like
something around 17-21 or so, I'll think I'll keep an
eye on Eb*y for a Tamron.
Cheers

Chris
