Yes, that is why the Tokina is last. My understanding is rthat Tamron is
just a bit below Zuiko. But I'm trying not to go into the 500mm/f5.8 area.
Do you know anyone with a 350mm or 400mm?

If you are thinking about 500mm mirrors, then you should not consider Tokina
at all. I have had the opportunity to compare one with a genuine Zuiko and
they are like black and white. I haven't seen Tamron but they are supposed
to be better than Tokinas. I don't know however if they are on pair with
Zuiko. Tokinas are cheap however 10x cheaper than a Zuiko.
