Lex (or anyone):

Do you have any pro or con info on the Samyang 500mm (optical lens, not
mirror), by chance?

The Vivitar 17-28mm is almost certainly the Samyang-made 17-28mm,
reportedly
a very good lens for the money.  The Samyang has lots of fans, including
discriminating pros and serious amateurs.

Now there's a niche Olympus could fill, albeit with some compromises to be
priced competitively.  Say, $200-300 street price.  Lots of demand these
days for WA zooms.  (Wonder if Cosina is listening?)
