Rob,
It's a great lens, and the photos you get from it will be fabulous
(assuming you're a good photographer :-)). It only falls down if you HAVE
to have more zoom range than it offers. Otherwise, it's at the top of the
heap for early-mid 1990's technology.
There's very little raw details about the lens that I've ever seen.
Perhaps Gary Reese or John Hermanson has something, as they seeem to have
been pretty tuned in to Olympus Japan.

Thank you for making the $1075 I just spent seem like a better and
better allocation of funds. ;-)
Any more information on this "special glass" they used or is it a
secret like the sauce McDonalds puts on Big Macs?

arrive)
