Hi Bernd:
Many, including myself, find both the 35-70mm f/3.6 and a 35-70mm
f/3.5~4.5 useful to have on hand. They serve mutually exclusive
purposes, so don't give up one for the other.
The 35-70mm f/3.5~4.5 might very well be a Zuiko which is subject to
being out of tolerance, thus resulting in some samples being better than
others, either through abuse or poor initial build. (The similiar
polycarbonate Canon FD model sure fits that description). I would
suspect that someone would have a "dog" of a sample if they totally pan
this lens as "poor." It isn't when its in tolerance.
