35-80F2.8 is the mythical, fabled Zuiko zoom in question. They also made
three 35-70s (not including the Cosina floater).

Subject: [OM] Arrg!! Disappointment!
I walked by a camera repair shop, my 50mmf1.8 has seen cleaner days; and
so I asked how much it would cost to clean it, as I see a bit of lint in
the lens; she said that it was alright; didn't really need cleaning
(yet) but if I wanted it cleaned, it was cheap, only $12!! So as I
walked out, I spot in the corner.. an Om-10 with a 35-70mmf2.8!! I was
trying really hard to remember which OM zoom was the one that was said
to be one of the best zooms in the world... But looking hard, it was
some no-name brand.. And also, I don't think Olympus made an f2.8 for a
35-70mm.. arrg...
Which brings me to my question, WHICH 35-70mm ZOOM WAS the fabled
"performed better than most primes"?
I remember reading on the list, but don't remember which one it was..
