Primarily because the Zuiko 70-210 is not made by Olympus. It is made by
Cosina. The 35-70/3.5-4.8 (note the 4.8) is the other Cosina lens. It, in
particular, is lousy.
Opinion on the list is the 70-210 isn't very good.

recommended the 200/f4.

and 200/f4 compare? What am I missing? Except for the MC version of the
prime, it seems to me that 70-210 has a slightly better performance.
