  This has to be the buy of the year.

Last week I carelessly scored
a Zuiko 35-70/3.6 lens on Trademe NZ for the grand sum of $5.50.

Excellent!

Probably most of you will remember Gary
Reese's Lens Tests. Back in the day when his tests were hot monthly
news, I was lusting for a

Zuiko 35-80/2.8, and he told me that the
Zuiko 35-70/3.6 was practically as good - and his tests bear this out;
see http://zone-10.com/d1/node/111

Unfortunately, Gary didn't test for Secret Sauce. Our saucier, Señor Nariz de Plata, may explain how much more SS the 38-80 has. :-)

I, OTOH, was very pleased with my 35-70 for years.

Congratulatory Moose
