: The other tamron lenses that are worth outstanding ratings are the 90mm
macro,
:the 180mm SPLD f2.5, the 300mm f2.8 (not the first light grey version) and
the
:400mm  f4 primes.  All these lenses are every bit as good as an original
:manufacturer lens.

Add the Tamron 35-105mm/F2.8 to that list...

: What I miss in the Olympus lineup though is a 135mm f2 . I had one for my
Canon
: FD system for years and it was incredible.  I know the zuiko 135mm  f2.8
is
: supposed to be good but I want that extra stop and 100mm is not long
enough and
: 180mm f2 is too big.  Is there another option that I do not know about?
How is
: the Vivitar 135mm f2.3?  or the Soligor 135mm f2?  anything else?

Maybe the Tamron 135mm/F2.5? (aka the Hfl.25 lens ;)
