Some of the SP series are outstanding lenses. The 80-200/2.8* is world
class. The 35-105/2.8 and 60-300/3/8-5.4 are excellent. The
35-210/3.5-4.2 is also a good lens. Walt swears by his 28-105/2.8, but,
like the 80-200, it's a big, heavy lens.
Heavy is a relative term. Try a C*n*n 300/2.8 or a Zuiko 350/2.8
(ask Mike V.) for heavy.
The 28-70/3.5-4.5* is a decent,
2 touch, compact zoom, but not as good or as compact as the Zuiko
35-70/3.5-4.5*. The 70-210/3.5* has an almost unique lens hood that
adjusts for focal length (like the Zuiko 35-70/3.6).
Moose, do you know anything about the latest Sigma 70-200/2.8? I ask
because the $1700 (from B&H) C*n*n 70-200/2.8 L IS is damn
impressive. It's one of, if not the sharpest big zoom I have ever
seen. I think the Sigma is about 1/2 that price, but I'm not certain
about that.
