[OM] KEH and 35-70 3.5-4.5 Questions

I just received a 35-70 f/3.5-4.5 from KEH and I have a couple of
impressions and questions:

1) This lens is TINY compared to my S Zuiko 35-70/4! I love the feel
and size of it.

2) I was surprised to discover it was an S Zuiko. Was it built by
Cosina (I know, look in the FAQ. But while I'm here...)

2) Is it normal for KEH to ship a lens with no covers, front or rear?

3) When the aperture ring is moved from 3.5 to 5.6 on the wide end
(35mm), the aperture closes slightly. My other Zuiko zooms are fixed
aperture, so of course don't do this, but  my Sigma/Quantaray
28-80/3.5-4.5 doesn't show this behavior.  Did I get a defective
lens, or is this normal behavior in a Zuiko variable aperture zoom?
