Moose,
Does the Phoenix focus in the "correct" way (like a Zuiko)? I have a Sigma 21-35 which is quite good but focuses like a N*kkor.

18, 21, 24, 28 and 35mm are actually pretty well spaced, with noticeable differences in perspective and coverage. If using 'sneaker framing' of nearby subjects, they certainly overlap in coverage, but the image can differ quite a bit. If there is background at any distance, its relation to the foreground shifts. I know it may be heresy, but the Vivitar S1/Phoenix/?? 19-35/3.5-4.5, in addition to being optically very good, is an interesting way to experience perspective differences over the wide to super wide angle range. It's quite an inexpensive way to find out which focal lengths one prefers in that range.
