     Earlier I was using a Tokina 35-105mm f/3.5-4.3 RMC, which is a one-touch 
with separate macro adjustment.  Very nice lens, and I used it for field work 
until the Tokina 28-70mm came along.

     When I was doing film with the OM-1 I used the Zuiko 35-70mm along with a 
Soligor 2X teleconverter, a close-up set, and an extension tube that was made 
from a lousy Sigma teleconverter.  Used that setup for a little over 30 years 
with no issues.
