How would you compare it's proformance to other Zuiko lenses? Is there
another Zuiko zoom you would recomend over this one?
Part of the reason I'm interested in this lens is it's close focusing
ability. Is there another brand, in this range that would be comparable?
I've had two 65-200mm Zuiko Zooms, both of which went cloudy on me. If fact
I still have one of them, which is near mint and useable that gets used not
very often. The lens in that range that I was particularly fond of, but sent
to live with someone else is the Tamron SP 60-300mm. These can be had
fairly inexpensively and would probably be my choice over the Zuiko 65-200mm.
Now to totally discredit myself, I will share with you another Zuiko zoom
that I like that is in a different use category than either the 65-200 or the
Tamron 60-300mm. It is the 75-150mm which I like when doing portraits. Nice
light lens with a zoom range I find pleasing for this type of work. They
are rather common and subject to lens separation, however if you can find a
good one . . . Bill Barber
