The 35mm Zuiko's are usually tested against the best samples of the 24
TSE's. Many users of the 24TSE's have said they had to go through many
copies to find a decent one (Canon wideangle QC syndrome). Also, the limits
of the Canon lens shifted, with good corner results is much more limited -
even with the best copy.

Subject: [OM] Re: Another Zuiko on FM - Zuiko 35mm F2.8 shift
Sean Reid ( http://www.reidreviews.com/) tested my 24 and 35 Shifts against
the Canon 24 TS-E on the 5D. Between the 24s, there were things that each
lens did better than the other--with the Zuiko slightly better all around,
with the final nod going to the TS-E mainly because it can be had for $1100
vs $2000 for a mint example of the Zuiko. He was quite impressed with the
35. I wouldn't say he thought it was sharper than the TS-E, but he did say
it had excellent resolution across the frame at middle apertures, and
retains its resolution even when shifted.
Personally, I've found the 35 to be a very sharp and satisfying lens. I'll
be keeping it. :-)
