Hi all! Just traded an old N*kk*r 105/2.5 for a near mint Zuiko 200/4. I
*think* I see a hint of green in the coating, but it doesn't say MC.
(Serial number 260*** -- anyone know if this is multi-coated?)
I'm wondering what the consensus is regarding this lens, or whether there
even is one. The tests seem all over the map. Some seem to think it's a
great lens, even hand-held; Mr. Reese seems to have decided you have to
nail it down to a support to really get decent results. (Although the new
test results are pretty impressive, it seems; holds its own with the
180, at some apertures.)
And what about the 2xA converter? Someone in the archives suggested you
could *hand-hold* it with the converter attached! That would be
something: a 400mm lens that didn't require a tripod...
In short, I'm wondering what I've bought.
cheers,
Doug
