There are some excellent alternatives outside the Zuiko line. Here are
comparisons of a couple of excellent lenses to the 65-200. The Tamron
gives much greater reach and exceptional macro capability, but is a bit
longer and heavier. The Tokina is smaller, lighter and has much greater
fl coverage. I wouldn't mention this if the 65-200 were a winner, but
sheesh, why back a lame horse.
