[OM] OM10 and Zuiko 65 / 200 MC zoom

I met a gentleman yesterday whose daughter has enrolled in one or more
courses at a photo school. He described her a photo freak since her
early teens! She is in her late teens and has an OM10 body and a
standard 50mm Zuiko lens. He is thinking of buying her a used 65 / 200
MC zoom. I have tried it on my 4T and it focuses nicely out to infinity.
The push / pull zoom barrel is smooth in both directions and is a snug
fit. The focusing was also smooth and even. There are no visible marks
or scratches on the front or rear elements and none on the interior
elements as far as I can see. I did not see any evidence of fungus or
signs of element separation. Other than a ding on the end of the push in
/ out lens shade the lens looks in good shape with only very minor
scratches on the barrel. I'd say it was in a 9 condition out of 10. The
price is right in line with Skip Williams' analysis of ebay prices.

So I can pass on any useful information does anyone have any comments on
the 65 / 200 zoom? My gut feeling tells me that it is superior to the 75
/ 150 Zuiko zoom. Gary's lens test analysis looks very favourable.

Also, I assume the OM10 body and the 65 / 200 are compatible.

Any and all comments will be appreciated.

John Hudson
