I'd expect the 80-200/2.8 Tamron SP to be quite nice on an E-1 or E-300.
It's a very good lens, if a little heavy. For stationary subjects, I bet
it'd be the cat's meow. I've mounted the 300/2.8 Tamron on my E-1 and the
shots were very nice, much more cost effective than the crazy 600/2.8
Zuiko-Digital at $7k.
As for the E-2, 3, ?? I'd buy the E-1 first with it's current great price
and then save your pennies for a next-generation purchase 12 months down
the road when they're 20-40% less money. I'm starting to get a hankering
for the 50/2 Macro, which continues to garner its chare of accolades.
Did you guys see the new article on Mike Johnson's site where he called the
50/2 and the 50-200/2.8-3.5 two of the best lenses made anywhere for a DSLR?

So, one more question: Has anybody tried the 80-200/2.8 Tamron on an
E-thing?
How about a 300/2.8 Tamron?
Walt, still waiting for the 10MP E-thing II, but getting impatient.
Yes, I've used it with both the 300mm & 400mm Tamrons with both the 1.4X
and
2X. Nice results.
Sold my 80-200mm Tamron before I really had an opportunity to give it a try
on the e-1.
I'm really having a blast with my e-thing. Glad I'm not waiting for the
bigger and better deal and I'll likely buy the bigger and better deal when
it is
released, however, until them . . .
