Hi Mark:

My first round of lens test slides are back and I'm underwhelmed with my 100mm
f/2.8 Zuiko.  I can't imagine it being anywhere near the quality of a 200mm
f/5 image - which I still haven't tested using the same lens test procedure.

P.S.  Folks who have been lauding the 35-70 f/3.6 seem to have been right on
the money.  I tested it at all apertures and at 35, 50 and 70 mm settings.
Nice.  Will have full info in the future.
