A relatively rare focal length range. I have Tokina's counterpiece, an
RMC 75-260 f4.5, which I got real cheap a couple of years ago to
replace my stolen Zuiko 75-150 (as I'm more of a wide angle person and
900f my photography is between 19 and no more than 85 mm I figured I
did not need to spend the money a Zuiko would have cost me). I was
surprised by how good it is - tack sharp and good contrast and color
rendition, easily beats the 75-150. I really ought to give it some
more use. It's heavy, though - built like a tank. I wonder how it
compares to the Viv.


MtFbwy,
Volkhart
