I assume Jeff means the Zuiko 35-105/3.5-4.5.  If so, I agree.

I also agree with Tom S.'s assessment as far as I can, never having owned the 35-70/4 or 3.6. The 35-80/2.8 is just about all I use anymore in the focal lengths it covers.

And yet. The 35-105 does come very close. The extra MM are extremely useful ones as well. Yes, it is slower than the 35-80/2.8, but particularly if one is shooting landscapes, the lack of speed is easily accommodated. And since it is a one-touch zoom, it has a very useful DOF scale.

I think the 35-105/3.5-4.5 is one of the best values going.
