Not good news, but it doesn't happen with mine, Tom.  Just tried it.

Do they accept returns?

Went to the zoo today with the girls (another message for later).  Tried the
new (to me) 35-80 on my OM-3.  It exhibited what I fear is a problem.

Let's say I set the zoom at 80 and focus at infinity.  As I zoom out to 35,
when it passes about 45, the focus ring moves from infinity to about 10
meters (at 35).  I didn't have enough distance to anything to see if the
horizon was still in focus, but this sort of seemed wrong.

If you have it at 35 and 10 meters, and turn the focus back to infinity, it
zooms to 45 or so.

Can someone else with a 35-80 try it and tell me what happens?

Thanks,

Tom
