The lens is marked S ZUIKO AUTO-ZOOM 35~70mm 1:3,5~4,5 and uses a 49mm filter.
Are you sure yours is 3.5? It sounds like what you have is the 35-70 f/3.6

I will let others more knowledgeable answer your scanner question more
specifically, burt the question of whether a less expensive scanner will work
for you has a lot to do with what you want to do with the output. If you jsut
want to post picures on the web then your requirments will not be as stringint
as if you want to print 8x10 or larger prints for example.
