Just wanted to make others here aware of a great deal on \"new\" Zuiko 35-80/2.8\'s for <$800. I had this lens, sold it, tried everything else, then bought another copy. For me, there is not a better performing full frame 35-xx zoom across the aperture range, except for maybe the Leica 35-80/2.8 (which I will likely never try, $$$$). I found the Zeiss 35-70/3.4 to be good, but only after stopped down past f/5.6, and it colors, and one touch design weren\'t for me. The color and contrast is as good as any lens I\'ve ever owned (zoom or otherwise) The added reach to 80mm and faster f/2.8 aperture are big pluses. The lens is nicely sharp from wide open, and 80/2.8 is very useful for portraits with some background blur. even the bokeh is very good especially for a zoom)
I have no relationship, or knowledge of the seller, so buyer beware - as usual with ebay.
