One disappointing aspect of the 35-105mm zoom is that it is the lens with
the most horriblest (**) aperture ring of any Zuiko. I got my mint sample
via Ebay, but prior to that I examined two others in a shop, and all three
had this horrible aperture ring. It feels as though the aperture ring is
full of grit and in need of a generous squirt of WD40. As all three samples
exhibited this characteristic, I surmise that this is normal for the
35-105mm Zuiko.

(**) The grammarians among you will have noticed that "most horriblest" is
a double superlative, and therefore grammatically incorrect. However, even
Shakespeare used double superlatives on occasion, for dramatic effect (see
"Hamlet").
