Gary's tests show about the same
performance, and with 575 grams vs. the 1100 grams of the 300/4.5, is it
worth the extra 2/3 stop?
Depends on whether you are out taking pictures or just hanging around a
bunch of Zuikoheads. The subjects of your pictures don't care, however if
you are doing the latter, you should have the silver nosed 300 mm f4.5 with
the left hand tripod mount and no UV filter on your OM 1n with a winder 2
attached with no batteries as you will only be using it as a grip. Not sure
if it would be better to have the chrome or black body, but a set of the
Sparks leathers would certainly elevate you to a different level. Now the
bottom line (which I'm sure will be a surprise to everyone) . . . you need
all three pieces. If you have not totally lost it, you may wish to let your
pocket book be your guide. If the pocket book is not an issue, refer back
to my original suggestion. Bill Barber
