I like the 35-70 F3.6 zuiko its not too expensive (unlike the 35-8$), 55mm
thread well built and at F11 produces good results and is good for 1 stop
each side without much degredation (unlike the f4)
higher up the range the tamron 80-200 is very nice although big and heavy.
In this country (uk) tamron prices on ebay are LOW.
