Damo,
Be careful. There are GOOD 35-70 lenses and BAD 35-70 Lenses.
The GOOD ones include:
35-70/3.6 - the 'professional' model
35-70/4 - the 'semi-pro', but still quite good model
35-70/3.5-4.5 the 'little and light' - very good -- my personal favorite.
The BAD one is
35-70/3.5-4.8 - Cosina-made, not Olympus. Not good.
Notice that the good light one is 3.5-4.5 and the bad light one is 3.5-4.8
(note the 8).
I'd bet it is the 'bad' one he has.
