Hardly, wasn´t it the same source which claimed the 200mm Zuiko a
mediocren lens?
My sample of this lens is excelent, with and without the Olympus 2x
converter, this lens delivers tack sharp images, the limiting factor is
normaly the film grain.
I´ve some test results published in ColorFoto, who indicate, that the
180mm/2.8 Zuiko is wide open as good as the Zeiss 180mm/2.8 Sonnar, the
corners of the Zuiko are actualy better.
With stoping down, the Sonnar can gain more than the Zuiko, but
performance of both is very close.
