Having finally acquired one of these, I _like_ it. It's tiny -- mounted, it
fits in a neverready case
fine, which is pretty impressive -- the light weight is a definite bonus,
and while I've not tried the 3.6 equivalent, I've taken generic snapshots
with the 3.5-4.5 that have made me say 'ooh, that's _sharp_' which I
certainly wasn't expecting.

This is a cool feature -- you can see the aperture mechanism moving around
as you change the zoom, presumably to keep it at the right relative
distance.
