Hi Folks,

I believe that this was eluded to a couple of days ago, but there hasn't been 
much comment on it so I thought I might raise it again. The question is are 
there cases, where zuikos of the same focal length are offered in different 
models, when one should not look to purchase the lens with the fastest 
aperature. I'm thinking, for example, of the 35-70mm with f3.6, f3.5-4.5, f4 or 
the 100mm f2 vs f2.8, 135mm f2.8 vs f3.5 etc. Are their situations where the 
slower lens is actually of better quality than the faster? Or situations where 
the jump to the faster aperature results in a disproportionate increase in 
price vs performance? I think this info would be valuable to those of us 
zuikoholics that are relatively new to all of this.

Thanks,

Bruce
