I'm new to this list. I'm a longtime Leica rf user, although I did use
an OM-3 with
180/2.8 for a while. I found battery power consumption high and
switched to Nikon
SLRs. I've learned recently that the OM-3Ti and OM-4Ti are better on
power and am
considering going back to Olympus.

Welcome Emanuel. Glad you've seen the light!

My main use for SLR cameras is with longer teles. I admit my interest
in Olympus is
piqued by the 180/2 and, especially, the 250/2. Who here has used the
250/2 and what
did you think? Also, where may I buy one at what's a ballpark price?

I have a used 250/2 and it is an absolute beauty. I've been using it
for sport (mainly rugby) with and without the 1.4xA converter, and
both ways the results are stunning. Giles has a 180/2 I believe, which
also produces excellent++ results.

As for where to buy and ballpark prices - don't buy it in the UK, as
you could buy the ballpark for less!
