[OM] Review of 50-250mm f5 Zuiko

(Extracted from an article in UK photo magazine "Practical Photography"; the
issue is not known, but was probably sometime during 1990.  The article
reviewed the OM4Ti plus 3 lenses.)

Slower than many 70-210mm lenses, this one-touch zoom has that much more
focal length versatility, and can double as a (rather bulky) standard lens
if it has to.

f32 is fairly weak, especially at 250mm, but if you forget about this
aperture entirely you have a good all-round performer, especially good at
50mm f11.

MTF % values for centre and edge (edge in parenthesis)
(the spatial frequency measured was not specified):

f5:     55% (47%)
f8:     61% (37%)
f11:   62% (45%)
f16:   57% (45%)
f22:   44% (38%)
f32:   22% (18%)
