In order to get a lens in the 200mm range with a wider aperture than f4,
you'd have to go with the Zuiko 180/f2.8 which has a very prohibitive cost
for most new OM users. The 200/4 is a relatively bright lens for its class,
and the optics are sharp. When photographing sunsets, you will not notice
the f4 aperture... in fact, most of your shots will probably be f8 or
smaller.

but don't I want to stay away from such high 'F' numbers?
