Alex,
I've never seen one myself. The only CDI ratings of a zuiko lens I'm aware
of are for the 300 4.5 and the 35-80 2.8. The 300 4.5 earned a respectable
3 stars, equal to the Zeiss 300 f4 (also a non-IF design), but less than the
four stars earned by the latest AF, IF, USM etc. you-know-what-brand 300
f/4. The 35-80 earned 4 stars, if I recall, equal to the best lenses in the
class.
Regards,
Greg L.
