That bit about 'reasonable amount of light' is the reason that I prefer my
Tamron SP 35-105 Aspheric f2.8 to the Zuiko 3.5 - 4.5. Right now in Denmark
we have very poor light most of the time; the sun, if it shows itself,
rises at 8:45a.m. and sets at 3:15 p.m. and does not rise very high up
anyway!
I think that age is also creeping up on my eyesight, so I mostly prefer the
bigger aperture lenses. I believe that the Tamron 35-105 would give the
Zuiko 35-80 a pretty good contest too; shorter, a bit lighter, 67mm
filters, and more range.
