Hi Ron,
Ironically enough, I just got rid of my own 180F2.8, 200F5.0 and 300F4.5
for the very simple reason that I rarely used even the 180, which was my
hands down favorite of the trio. Although the 65-200 serves as my only tele
above 100, I suspect it too will get little use. The 100, then the 50, then
the 28 and finally the 21 comprise my main line up and usage order, although
I plan to add a 35 to the lineup for "street" shooting. Possibly if I got a
second 4T, I could put a 35F2.0 on it and be covered for almost anything with
the 100. I also expect the quality of my work to go up, now that I've reduced
the "clutter" and decision making.

or the 85mm lenses for portraiture, and for the sake of discussion, lets
ignore the speed of the lense for the moment. Both of these are most often
mounted on my body also. But I wonder what other Zuiks prefer to shoot
with. Let's also try to avoid how the subject matter dictates which lense
to use. Though that maybe difficult. I'm really more interested in what
you LOVE to shoot with.
I find that, more often then not, I switch between my 100mm and my 35-70mm
lenses. I'm asking this question because of two recent purchases I made
(300/4.5 and 180/2.8) and whether either of these will see much action out
of my bag? I had previously owned the 100-200mm F5 which I truly disliked.
It was slow, dark and difficult to focus. So maybe as a second question,
how often do list members use their super teles?
