What 80-200mm zoom? Not all zooms are made alike! The 65-200mm f/4 Zuiko
tested at:
http://members.aol.com/olympusom/lenstests/default.htm
isn't too bad and I have high hopes the 85-250 or 50-250 Zuikos will be
superior. I'm just now looking at test results on a 100-200 f/5 Zuiko and
it's a mixed bag - sometimes very good sometimes fair. Amazingly, with an
Olympus 2X teleconverter it is better at 400mm than without at 200mm! The
1.4x and 2x combos with a 300mm f/4.5 Zuiko are going to be poorer that I
expected.
Back to evaluating them . . .
