Of the lenses listed, your best buy is probably the Tokina. HOWEVER... you
might do better buying a fixed focal length Zuiko like the 135/3.5 which can
be had pretty inexpensively (60-80US) & will give you MUCH better image
quality... and if you like Bokeh, you will get it easier with this lens than
with a variable aperture zoom starting at f4.5 (gasp!). For the money this
lens is sooooo clear. wow...
Just my $.02 worth...
Distortion and bokeh are more of a consern than sharpness (on the >pictures
taken with my current lens, the horizon looks more like an >arch....it also
casts some ugly greenish which I hate so much)
I am on a very tight budget now and this is why am going el cheapo.
Here are the lenses I am considering:
Olympus Zuiko 70-210 f/4.5-5.6
Tamron 70-210 f/4.5-5.6 Mfr Catalog # A58200 (the one with the 52mm >filter
ring) Tokina 70-210 f/4.5-5.6 Mfr Catalog # SZX210NO (the one with the 49mm
>filter ring)
