Big? Yes but the Zuiko 35-80 is 50% bigger!
Heavy? Yes but the Zuiko 35-80 is 64% heavier!!
Not quite as fast as the 3.6 Zuiko? The gain of the 3.6 against 3.8 at the
long end would be difficult to spot, but is numerically smaller than the
loss of the 3.6 against 2.8 at the short end!
Not to question your choice, James, but to correct potential
misunderstanding by others.

This is a possibility although its beiiger, heavier and not quite as fast as
the 3.6 olympus. My father has the older non sp 35-80 which I should borrow
and test drive :-)
