> What are your 3 favorite Zuikos?
1- 21/3.5
2- 200/4
3- 2X-A
But my new 85~250/5 is growing better and better
> Why?

1. I love almost all Zuikos. Some of them should be better constructed
(more sturdy) like the 28/2.8 which, OTOH is optically excellent
2. I could afford them even when short of money

What catches my eye or what poses a photographic problem to solve.
Specially macro because I have no specific lens for this kind of pictures,
but I manage to solve this issue (ever tried the 85~250 with the 65~116 +
T-32? The 50/1.4 + 25mm tube isn't bad either).

1. Affordability
2. the 200/4 speed and MC in comparison to the 200/5. Then Carlos taught me
the /4 has no comma aberration.

1. Nikkor 200/4 seems to be better constructed and focuses up to 2 meters.
2. Canon manual focus zooms I used with an A-1 - well didn't like them.
Neither did I like the Canon 50mm/1.8 - but I liked their breech lock
bayonet mount and diaphragm lock latch (A-1).
3. Nikkor 43~86 - didn't like it either.
4. Nikkor 50mm/1.4 was better than my G.Zuiko.
