Hi Gary. I do not salivate. Remember, while the specs may look
sexy on paper, these ultra-zooms are either very heavy or very
slow or both (on the other hand, they do make your bank account
considerably lighter). The 35--105 is about the heaviest lens I want
on my OM bodies. I do agree about your rating of this lens however.
I love it. I used it at a large party in a restaurant last week with
very good results (on a 4 ti).
