I agree with both Damon Wood and Jim
Couch(and C.H., too!) that the 75-150 Zoom is
an underrated lens. I have also produced
some of my favorite shots with this lens, and I
find it very versatile and useful for composing
photographs. I sure wouldn't give it up. Its too
useful in too many situations, and its very
small and compact. I note that the wonderful
photo of the Chinese parade that C.H. posted
a link to was made with this lens.

Many of my favorite shots have been with the
75-150. In fact I purchased
another one last year, the orginal (I have had
since 78) had suffered
from many a hard day in the hills and was
pretty much dead. (The only
Zuiko I have ever killed.) I think it is a very
underated lens.
