> Greetings Gary, I'm about to commit hersey,
but...... a good lens to look for in this range is the
Tamron 70-150 f 3.5 (push-pull type w/49mm filter
size) It will focus to 1:3 @ 150 and is multicoated
and close to size/weight of the Zuiko. They come up
from time to time on E-Bay and can often be had for
less than the Zuiko. I think contrast and color is
better in my sample than the Zuiko I had. Sorry to to
chuck a stone in the pond but this Tamron is usually a
very good value. john Robison
