Hi Dan,
Have them both and each has its own flavour. If you don't mind a bit of
bulk and can use the extra 2/3 stop the Viv is a winner -- especially being
able to close focus to 4' - add a 7mm tube and its awesome. The Zuiko is
great too if the slightly slower speed and less weight and bulk are important.
Here is a link to a shot with the Viv 200/3 - hand held in a bouncing
airplane and 1/125th.
