I just bought a 35-100mm f/2.8, and my first impression is that it is unacceptably soft. Don't know whether I got a bad copy or not, but I'll update the firmware and do some real testing tonight.

If it's still as soft, it's going back. A $1,300 lens should easily outperform my $100 Oly 40-150, but it does not. In fact, the Oly is sharper. :\

Sounds like a bad lens. In my opinion my 35-100 F2.8 is somewhat sharper than my 12-40.
