Pop Photo tested lens a while ago. For 16x20 prints it got 6 B+s or better at
80 mm, 2 B+s at 135mm and two Bs at 200mm.  They generally liked it.

Color Photo found it to rate 66.7.  In comparison with other 2.8 zooms, a
similar Nikon was 66.1, Sigma 60.3, Minolta 70.6 and Canon 69.2.  

BTW the AF Olympus 70-210 rated 68.8; why didn't they produce it in
MFalongside the 65-200 and also the 28-85 in an MF version.
