I was out shooting today and used Zuikos 18/3.5, 21/3.5 and 24/2.8. I
also used Tamrons 35-105/2.8 and 80-200/2.8. I took along a Tokina
150-500/5.6, but left my tripod standing by the door, so didn't use the
Tokina. The monopod isn't enough for the Tokina when it's windy, if
ever. I would say only a quarter of my shots were with the Zuikos. The
point is, the Tamron 35-105/2.8 costs about a quarter what the Zuiko
35-80/2.8 does and Zuiko didn't make anything like the big Tamron and
Tokina. These and other non Zuikos are serious lenses that I use
regularly with my Oly bodies. I use Zuikos almost exclusively for primes
from 18-85mm and a mixture of Zuiko and non-Zuiko primes and zooms from
35-1000mm.
I'll bet a lot of list members use non Zuiko lenses for a lot of picture
taking. A survey that includes only Zuikos may give a very misleading
picture of the 'lens to body' ratio and of what members are actually
using to take pictures.

Hi All,
Some things I forgot to mention. I'm not going to tabulate accessories or
non Oly stuff. Just bodies and Zuiko's will be included. (If this is
successful I'll do a total and complete survey) If you want to remain
anonymous just type that instead of an E-mail Address.
