Hello everybody,
this is my first post on this list. Well, let's start with this.
After a few years where my OM4Ti was mostly "at rest", I now feel
again like doing a lot of photography ;-) So I've decided to invest
in a quality lens in the 200 mm range.
I've seen here in Paris a Zuiko 180/2.8 at $510, a Zuiko 200/5 at
$140 and a Vivitar 200/3.5 at $160 (approximately, counting $1 = FF7).
The 200/5 is nice and compact, with a "Zuik-feeling" (neologism?),
but f:5 seems a bit too much (or too little!) for a minimum aperture.
The 180/2.8 is not compact, to say the least, but I suppose this is
one of the best Zuiko lenses.
So my question is, has anybody experience with these lenses,
especially with the Vivitar for which I can't seem to find any
information, and offer a piece of advice to help me decide?
Thanks in advance!
PS : on a more general, "list-related" topic: I have just discovered
your list, and joined yesterday. It seems you had one "incident" last
week...;-) But all I can see from the few postings that I have read
is friendly, considerate, thoughtful discussions - and even the OT
postings contribute to the general feeling of the list. Keep it this
way...
