Thanks Moose,
<snip> Will also look into the Tokina 80-200/2.8
Much less common than the Tamron and not quite as good in tests, but
noticeably lighter and a much better tripod mount, that won't break and
you can't lose.
as well as the Tamron 28-105/2.8 which is an $800 new lens (B&H ) vs. the Zuiko
35-80.
Walt swears by his 28-105/2.8 and I believe he also has the Zuiko 35-80.
The 28-105 is quite a bit bigger and heavier than the Zuiko. The Tamron
SP 35-105/2.8 is a more direct comparison with the Zuiko in size/weight:
Zuiko Tamron SP Tamron SP
f2.8 f2.8 f2.8
35-80 28-105 35-105
Length Min 99 112 98
