I used a 200 f5 when I was first learning on my Dad's OM-2. Because I found it
difficult to focus with a 1-13 screen, it didn't see as much use as it could
have. When I did use, it was usually after swapping to a 1-8 screen, and then I
would often use the 200 and a Vivitar 300mm. I did find the sharpness and
contrast of the 200 was *way* above that of the Vivitar. Sadly, this lens,
along with a 24/2.8 and the OM-2 succumbed to seawater in a winter storm about
12 years ago...
