Interestingly enough, the f/4 model scored well in Gary's recent lens tests.
Does this mean Frank's 35-70/4 was a poor example?  After reading the tests,
I couldn't see that there would be a significant gain in optical performance
in the f/3.6 but here is evidence to the contrary.  Any more opinion
(preferably from a direct comparison)?
