I have three Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5s (in various condition states) as well as a
35-70/3.6.  I wasn't suggesting this lens as an 'instead of', merely as a
far less costly alternative.  Faster alternative as well, I might add.
Repeat, not better, just less costly and faster.

That may or may not be a good lens, but why purchase a Soligor when you can 
easily buy a Zuiko? And for what, a few dollars more, maybe even the same 
price as the Soligor?

If anyone on the list has interest, I have a Zuiko 35-70mm f3.5-5.6 (close 
focus) in excellent condition. I've used this lens a lot myself and its 
operation is flawless, it's images are superb. I finally broke down and 
bought a Zuiko f3.6 so the former lens is now something I have no use for. 
I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between its image quality and 
that of the "better" lens I now own, though. Also, it is light and compact 
and easy to operate in the field. A honey.
