Take a look at Skip's recently enhanced history data.  Your 3.6 is averaging
almost double the sales price of it's closest competitor (the 3.5/4.5).  And
the 4 languishes behind, barely keeping ahead of the 'floater' 3.5/4.8.
Most of the list (myself included here) would advise you to keep the 3.6...
if you're scarcely using it, why do you think you'd use the 4 any more?
 
IOW, the 3.6 was considered the premier Zuiko zoom in that range at the
time.  Of course, subsequently supplanted by the 35-80/2.8, which runs about
quadruple the money.
 
Keep the 3.6

Hey all 

        I have the 35-70 3.6 zoom, which I really do not use all that much.
I was thinking of getting the f4 to replace it from a local shop and pocket
the change from selling thr 3.6.  I know there are also 3.5-4.5 and 3.5-4.8
zooms.  Does anyone know of the quality of the non-3.6 zooms or what I
should think about doing?

Thanks in advance.... 

-Bill
