I wasn't describing a lens.  I was describing the range of focal lengths 
covered by my two most commonly carried OM mount lenses mentioned in 
that note; a Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5 and a Kiron 7-150/4.

I also have 35-135 Kiron but, like the Tokina, it's a bit heavy.  But if 
you've got a 35-150/4 that only weighs about a pound I'd be interested :-)
