I've got a Tamron 28-105/2.8.  I really, really like this lens.  It's the
same speed as that so-called "holy grail" of Zuikos, the 35-80/2.8, but it
goes both wider and longer.  It's sharp as a tack, has fine bokeh, and I
consider it a marvel of modern optics.  As I have said, all things
considered, I would rather have the Tamron than the Zuiko if I couldn't
have but one.

Isn't the Tamron a HUGE monster?

So why did I bid on the Zuiko?  Because nobody said I couldn't have but
one!  And I sniped it for a few dollars less than the price of the Tamron.
Now I can compare the two, and I promise some rigorous, objective testing.
I'll have a report in a few weeks.  See:

Congratulation! $731 for a 35-80 must set a low end record! May be the bottom is falling w/ the Zuikos...

Har, har, hearty har, har!
