Nor do the prints compared to the negs. Those particular
pictures taken with the Tamron 80-200/2.8 with 140F are among
the very sharpest negatives I've ever seen. I'm completely
convinced that lens is in the "world-class" category. I believe
it "out-sharpened" every other shot on the roll taken with the
Zuikos. Heresy? Given that these were on PanF, I wouldn't
hesitate to blow them up to 20x30" or greater. The 8x10s look
like they were taken by a medium format camera.
One could probably survive quite nicely with a Zuiko 35-80/2.8
and the Tamron along with a couple of specialty wide-angles.

Thanks for the plug. My turn-around time has been a bit long
this month due to my day-job and other holiday activities, but
the B&W services are available for any others. Rates are
comparable to other labs, slightly more in some areas, less in
others. But I offer things like push/pull processing at no
extra cost. Also, I will only deal with Ilford films and
process them only in Ilford DD-X. I print using Ilford Papers
and chemistry. (Note a theme here?)
Contact me offlist for details, pricing, availablity, film
suggestions, etc.
If enough consistant business comes in, who knows, this might
become a full-time gig. It's getting harder and harder to find
a lab that will do B&W anymore, much less correctly and not
everybody is able to setup a darkroom.
