The Olympus 18/3.5 is a very good lens, but very very expensive. I think 130
Euro (or the slightly higher $130) would be a good price for the Tamron
17.3.5 lens... They seen to typically go on e*ay for that much or more. I
think the Olympus 18/3.5 would cost four or five times as much, and I don't
think it can be four or five times as good...
