As I've mentioned on the list before, the Tamron is a fabulous buy for the
OM user, I don't own the Zuiko 180/2.8 because of this lens. I just don't
see the need for much else in the upper range of the 80-200 focal length
unless weight is a big issue.. The only drawback is the size/weight. It's
a big honker! Lots of metal construction here. But the images you get are
first rate.
5 stars from me.

I know, not Zuikos and rest assured _if_ Olympus had seen fit to produce
a Zuiko zoom in this range that is reasonably fast this would be a
no-brainer.
Anyway, I am looking to replace my Tamron SP 60-300 with something a
little faster and (hopefully) better. I am quite partial to Tamron and
have heard glowing things on this here list re: the SP 80-200 f2.8 as
well as the Tokina ATX 100-300. If I were to go with the Tamron I would
be using it with SP converters (1.4x and 2x) at times (but not always).
I would use the Tokina as-is.
Any and all suggestions/comments welcome. Thanks!
