Thanks for the info all of you who commented on these lenses.  After careful
thoughts I decided that the 500mm is the one which would suit me better.
600mm is simply too large and heavy for my use (I like to hike and
additional 3kg of glass is not very appealing), although the sharpness of
the 600mm is probably better (plus the extra f stop).  The focusing
mechanism is not a problem for me however, I am used to microscopes and
don't think I would be very handicapped by the rack and pinion mechanism.
Anyway, KEH just sold one Zuiko 500mm.  It should also be a safe buy, what I
gave for it appears to be well below for what these lenses go for on oBoy
these days - the price there has gone up about $150 since I started to watch
for those, from about $350 to over $500).
