Yet the lens is over $1000 new, and not far used. Anyone that can actually
afford that might expect those problems to have been solved. Especially when
there are other comparable non-Zuiko lenses for small fractions of the cost &
possibly better in these regards.

Wasn't this the lens that Popular Photography tested and said was the
best lens of this type they had ever tested? It is an excellent
general use, fast zoom. By contrast the 35 shift lens was designed
for architecture. Expecting a general use zoom to exceed the
performance of a single focal length, specialized lens in the area of
its specialization seems to me to not be realistic. If that quality
is important, then maybe there is a reason for the historical
difficulty of Olympus in selling zooms to its OM users.
