let's say I have the ability to get 3600*2400pixel 36bit scans, and am  
looking at some new glass. would be better to get a higher quality lens w/  
less range (let's suppose 35-80) or get something not quite as nice, but  
better than run-of-the-mill (say 75-150). please note i am just using the  
two mentioned oly lens only for focal length demonstration, so actual  
performance of said lenses is moot). would you rather have the wider  
availability and crop to emulate "longer focal length" given the wider  
lens is also the one with an alphabet soup of acronyms and is faster? or  
get the longer variable aperture decent but not world-class lens with more  
range since you will be able to fill the frame completely (but lose on the  
wide end). the pro lens, if of course, more expensive. what would you do?
