James,
The 35-70 f4 was designated "S Zuiko" which is Olympus's economy line. An
obvious suggestion would be to look at the 35-70 f3.6 or the 35-105 f3.5~4.5.
>From what I have read these have much better optics than the 35-70 f4 and I
have been happy with their results. They are both significantly cheaper than
the 35-80-when-I-win-the-lottery.
If you want to go for the 35-105 I have one I'd be willing to part with.
Contact me off list if you are interested.
Mike.
