I have many non-Zuiko lenses that I like 'best'.

Nr. 1 would probably be the Tamron 35-105mm/F2.8, for which I paid only a
quarter of what the real thing (Zuiko 35-80/2.8) costs. It is now my
standard zoom.

Then there are the Tamron 180mm/F2.5, Tamron 300mm/F2.8, Tokina AT-X
80-200mm/F2.8, Angénieux 70-210mm/F3.5, Kiron 105mm/F2.8 1:1 macro. All of
them jewels, and I could never afford all of them with the Zuiko name on it
(as far as there _is_ a Zuiko version).

Lesser gods but stil very nice lenses are the Tokina 17mm/F3.5, Tokina
500mm/F8, Sigma 21-35mm/F3.5-4.2. Then there is the monster. The big one.
The mean one. The Koboron 120-600mm/F5.6-8. Filter size 82. Weight 2260g.
Worth well the astronomical price of hfl. 550 ($ 213) I paid for it.

Did I already mention the Tokina AT-X 28-135/F4-4.6, Tokina AT-X
35-70mm/F2.8, Tokina AT-X 60-120mm/F2.8, Tamron 135mm/F2.5 and Tokina SZ-X
60-300mm/F4-5.6?

Ah, I also forgot the Cosina 20mm/F3.8 which actually is a 19mm lens. And
the Vivitar S1 28-90mm/F2.8-3.5, Kiron 28-210mm/F4-5.6, Sigma 600mm/8,
Cosina Macro 80-200mm/F4.5-5.6 and the Panagor 100-300mm/F5.6.

I even omitted my very first lens, the Tokina EMZ 35-105mm/F3.8-4.8.

Which of my Zuikos I like best?

Well, there's the 40mm/F2, 21mm/F3.5, 50-250mm/F5, 85mm/F2, 135mm/F4.5
macro, 35-70mm/F3.5-4.5, 35-70mm/F3.6, ...

Hmm, I'ld better stop before it gets too embarrassing. ;)



hnz (if 50 lenses are too many, then how many lenses are too few?)
