LOL! Some others includes Oly. The Zuiko 35-105/3.5-4.5 works that way

Agreed, not a great solution.

Yes, I used to use this lens a lot. Since I got the Kiron 28-210, I've
mostly switched to it. Its "macro", 1:4, like the AT-X is at the long
end and less odd to use.
The Tokina SZ-X 35-200/4-5.6 is smaller and lighter and does its 1:4
simply as closer focus at 200 mm. Nice and simple.
