Same here.
I tried several zoom lenses (Nikon, Minolta) in the middle 1980s and
returned them. I tried another one in 1999 (Nikon) and again in 2001
(Canon) and didn't like them either. The Zuiko 50-90mm for the
Olympus Pen FV was a good lens, although beset with flare problems.
It was only when I bought the Canon 70-200/4L in 2003 that I first
found a zoom that I liked.
The Pentax FA20-35 has surprised me with its quality. If the DA12-24
is as good or better, it is a fantastic lens.
