For the 85-250 Zuiko, I have my 85 and 135mm length results posted at:
http://members.aol.com/olympusom/lenstests/default.htm
It's interesting to compare this to the 65-200mm f/4 Zuiko, which at the 
short and medium lengths is insignificantly different.

I also posted the results of the following:
* Hoya 75-260mm f/4.5 (check out the center at 135mm at f/8, it's an A+.  
Gary Schloss said this was a sleeper.  Rebranded as a Soligor.  Sold with a 
tripod collar.  But look at the vignetting - ouch!)
* Canon FD 300mm f/5.6 SSC  (the A's here tell me that the 350mm f/2.8 Zuiko 
is probably going to require a grade higher than an A+, since I did some side 
by side comparisons between these last year)
* Canon FD 28-55mm f/3.5~4.5 (smaller than the 28-48 S Zuiko and as petite as 
the 35-70 f/3.5~4.5 S Zuiko)

I forget to shoot the 180mm f/2.8 Zuiko, but will have that soon, as well as 
missing data from above.

As Greg told us, who said that today's lenses are that much better?  The 
manufacturer's? . . .
