So if you are going to carry a BEAST, to get a fast, sharp 200mm, why
not carry a Tamron SP 80-200 f2.8?
You get the bonus of a sharp, fast lens at all those other focal lengths
too!
You want a BEAST? Try the Tokina 150-500mm f5.6 (the Tamron 200-500 is
even longer and weighs more.)
But.... it makes really pretty pictures!!! 'course you need a sturdy
(heavy) tripod too....

Yeah, I have the Viv S1 200 f3. It is a BEAST. Someone on the list used to
call his 135, I think, Fat Viv.
I started calling my 200 that. It's like carrying around a fireplug. It'll be
cool when I get my OM/pen adapter. :^)

I've shot with a Zuiko MC 200/4 since 1978 and love it. Size, balance,
quality.
I have to slip in a vote for the Tamron SP 180/2.5 again. It has internal
focus down to under 4 feet, and just amazing sharpness.
The Ser 1 200/3 Vivitar is also a fantastic lens "option" and also focuses
very close. Buy one or have them all and decide later...
