Start of thread below.

Would someone who has had significant experience with all three, care to 
comment on the comparative image and handling charateristics of the 3 Olympus 
long zooms:

         1) 50-250F5.0
         2) 65-200F4.0
         3) 85-250F5.0

Thanks

 I knew that great minds would come to the same conclusion. I also
 suspected that you and I went through the same steps in doubt and
 decision before purchasing the lens. 
 
 I quite agree with your assessment, and merely add that the pictorial
 quality of the slides it produces resembles that from the 100 mm, f/2.8
 upon which I've commented before in this group. That is to say, the
 images have almost an three-dimensional quality, and excellent sharpness
 and contrast.
