I too like the 200/5 a lot. It's such a perfect example of the original 
OM philosophy of compactness. Even on paper, it's lots smaller and 
lighter than the 200/4 and in the hand, the difference is substantial. I 
went out shooting with OM-1, 50/1.8, 100/2.8 and 200/5 a while ago and 
really enjoyed both the outing and the results.

The 200/4 makes more sense if using a 2XA, as they seem to work together 
particularly well and f8 is less dim in the viewfinder than f10. At 
least that's my rational for having both.  {;o)
