Angel, thanks for the information. If mine is like yours, a little
"warm", I might want to replace the skylight filter with a UV.
Interesting, since it was advertised on eb*y as chiefly a skylight
filter, so I'd have to scrap the "best" part :-) Too bad I couldn't buy
all my filters with a lens attached. ("Warm" is not so bad, right now we
have too much "cold" here in Canada.)
I noticed that the lens was tested by Gary at 80 rather than its limit
of 85, but I assumed it was maybe a typo.
I see Robert Monaghan has a little write up comparing these two lenses
on his cult classic site also:

Wayne, the two lenses Tokina 28-85 (AT-X f 3.5-4.5 and RMC f 4)
tested
by Gary Reese on his web site are my own lenses. And I have tested both
lenses a lot of times vs the other Zuiko lenses from 28 to 85 mms. As
Gary
says, the results are very good - excellent (not too much on 85 mms).
You
can see Gary tests the AT-X lens on 80 mms. I know very well the two
lenses.
This is the reasen I told Warren Kato concerning the warm flavor of the
AT-X
lens.
Even, the RMC lens is more warm. Maybe this is in fashion on the first
80´s.
(I say warm in comparison with the Zuiko standard color rendition).
Concerning the "dim view in the viewfinder" that Warren talk about, I
thing
there is no problem with the OM 1.
