Me too Skip, the same version as Walt, with the same opinion (except in my
case it is a notional Zuiko 21/2. And a notional Zuiko 21/3.5, for that
matter).
The only possible downside I can think of is the cost of the hood, without
which you can't fit filters to this version. But at least the hood is still
available, unlike some other Tamron specials. Though they are 82mm filters.

Skip,
What can I say? I've got one, the later version without the internal
filters. I'm well pleased with it. I've never much cared for fisheyes, and
so the Tamron is the widest lens I've got. I find it useful for the times
the 21/2 Zuiko isn't quite wide enough, and it's a surprisingly good
performer, IMNSHO. I shot my TOPE 15 with it.
