<< I need a short telephoto, and I have seen a Zuiko 200(4) in the window
of a local shop. Is it sharp? The FAQ rates it lower than the 35-105(3.5-4.5)
I find this suprising, is it really softer than a zoom?

Snip!
The test in FAQ reference for the 200mm f4 is 1973 and covers a SC Single
Coating lens. According to Franks list, OLY came out with the 200mm MC
Multicoat some time around 1978. The 35-105 came out in about 1984 and was
always multicoated MC. It would be nice to compare the MC 200mm against the
35-105 MC. Does anyone have test for a 200mm MC?
