        <<: Yes, Mitch and Olympus optics are priced like Leica lenses.  My
friend at the
        camera shop showed me recently a 35-70 Olympus zoom at $1800.  I
guess it
        proves that you get what you pay for, well most of the time.

The zoom IS superb. . .and what you get for what you pay is:
constant 2.8 and, according to PopPhoto tests, the best
they've tested. . .B&H sells it for $ 1,289 new.  (You can get a superb
35-105 for less than $300 used). . .and so on. . .good glass for reasonable
prices.
