I not totally brand loyal here so please no flames.
You might consider alternatives to Zuikos in this
range because they might be a bit pricey. Consider the
Tamron 180/2.5 Adaptall or the Vivitar Series 1 200/3.
All three test pretty well at infinity but under a
special application such as on extension tubes they
might perform differently. I know that the Series 1
has some distance correction built it and can go to
1:4 by itself.
