I've been very happy with a Tokina 24-40mm f/2.8...Probably my favorite lens
on the OM. I was able to purchase it new about 5 or 6 years ago, just
before they disappeared from B&H, etc.
KEH will have the Tokina every once in awhile...Excellent Plus rated will do
very nicely, and probably Excellent.
I almost bought the Phoenix 19-35 before that, but I shot a quick test roll
in and outside the store...NOTHING was in sharp focus, and I checked the
1-hour prints AND checked the negs with a loupe.
