A selection of boats seen in Bridlington harbour. Most of the images were shot with with my Zuiko 75-150mm zoom and I notice a definite difference in quality when compared with the Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 lens I also used the same day. They’re not awful by any means, and it’s perhaps not fair to compare a telephoto zoom with a prime lens for visual fidelity, but there is a difference nonetheless.

It isn’t the greatest 70-150 of the time, but quite reasonable. I think Olympus (Maitani?) rather felt serious photographers would use primes……

Oh, definitely. It’s not a bad lens, just not as good as a prime. Had I shot the entire roll of film with it, then the difference would have been less apparent.
