B&H prices for midrange F2.8 zooms: Nikon $1389, Canon EF $989, Minolta
$1029, Pentax $999, Leica R and Contax nonexistent. And the Oly is
probably better than any of them.
I speak for myself, not the market. I bought my 35-70/3.6 used for $250.
It's in perfect shape and makes very good pictures. To my way of thinking
that's entirely more "reasonable" than $1500 or whatever the case may be.
I agree that by reputation the Zuiko 35-80 is a superior lens. That why I'd
kill to have one! <g>
