I agree with Tom about the 35-80/2.8. Mine often stays at home,
too. If I'm toting, I leave it in favor of the 35-105/3.5~4.5,
and if I'm hauling, I leave it in favor of the 28-105/2.8 Tamron.
But despite an occasional threat to do so, I probably won't sell
mine. I've bought and sold and traded a fair amount of camera
gear over the years, but I have never, ever parted with a Zuiko.
Some might think I'm a Zuikoholic, but that's simply not true. I
could get rid of all of them if I really wanted to. I just don't
want to, so that means it's a rational decision, not an illness,
that prevents me from parting with even one precious.
