yup. I thought the 350 Tamron would be a bit smaller than the Zuiko 500.
I want something to take backpacking. The 500 is a nice lens with
excellent contrast in its class, but... despite what some say about this
lens I don't think any 500 is hand holdable and at f8 the viewfinder is
too dark to easily focus. So maybe the 350 at one stop brighter and a
little lighter might work out. And leave some $$$ in my pocket. The
close focus isn't a selling point for me as the bokeh probably sucks.
