50-250mm/5
: in addition to the aforementioned two lenses. Olympus Japan is kinder to

Now this is interesting; I've never seen the recommendation for the
50-250mm/F5 before... Of course immediatedly after reading this, I had to
try it. It works! It is rather bizarre, though, a 100-500mm/F10 lens that
actually can be hand-held. Finally I can enhance my 50-250 with a nice macro
mode :-) In broad daylight, with a 2-4 focusing screen mounted, focusing is
not very difficult.
