CH has a point here. I've been using Zuikos for so long and have little 
extensive & recent experience of many other brands (one hears of Kiron 
being "cold" in colour rendition), that I had overlooked the colour aspect of 
their performance.

Also, with regard to the 35 ~ 80 f/2.8 Zuiko, as far as I know it is the first 
(and last) of the last Zuiko series of design that used special glass to get 
very accurate colour. So, regardless of its resolution, the colour delivery 
should be spot on.
