I  have had  a Tokina 70-210/f4-5.6 SZX for many years  and have been
pleased with it.  Not  too long ago,  I bought a Zuiko 65-200/f4 and shot
some slides of  the same detailed subject using each lens. I was a bit
chagrined that the images from  the Tokina zoom seemed visibly superior
(with more 'dimension') to those from  the  Zuiko. So much so that the Zuiko
sits unused. Of course,  the  small size and low weight of the Tokina often
factor heavily into  the 'which lens to take' equation too.

This  was  a very  subjective 'test', and  I would love to see how  this
Tokina would fare in a more formal setting like  Gary's lens  tests.
