I agree, the 3.5-4.5 is a great little lens. I have only had mine a few
months but I find myself using it as my standard lens for a lot of subjects.
I also got mine on eBay, but I paid $117 for it, which would have still been
a pretty good deal without the OM-1 MD that was attached to it! Admittedly,
the OM is a beater, but I don't mind taking it out in conditions that I
wouldn't take my other bodies out in. I used this setup a few weeks ago
while photographing Beale Street on a very wet morning. The lens performed
really well and I have put a shot taken with it on the following page (the
right-most image).

My order for the Zuikos is different than the previous post. My order is:
35-70/3.5-4.5
35-70/3.6
35-70/4
I don't include the 3.5-4.8 on the list.
The reason is that I LOVE the little lens. Is the 3.6 sharper? Probably,
but I didn't carry it.
You'll be very happy with it and that price was a steal.
Tom
