Hi Chuck,
I'm wondering what your opinion is of the zuiko 200/4 lens in general, and
for astrophotography. I'm thinking about purchasing one. On the lens test

about. I would appreciate your thoughts. Jim

It just occurred to me that I may only have to loan it to you long
enough for you to discover how hard astro is and give it up too. Of
course, I didn't have the convenience of a university observatory with
scope always set up and correctly aligned on the pole.
