I have 2 of the lenses, Zuiko 65-200 and Zuiko MC 200mm f4. I concur with
Tom Scales assessment of the 65-200 zoom. The fixed-focal 200mm - I have
used for indoor basketball games and this has worked out very well,
especially under varying light conditions (just about every High School
gym). Lightweight and I don't really need to use a mono or tripod with it.
You can find good bargains on eBay for both lenses, but I believe the 200mm
is more readily available. Hope this helps (My $0.02).
