Item # 7546967455 on the auction site is an excellent alternative, but
without the same range. This one is the Kiron-made one, branded Vivitar,
with a 2x included in the auction. It already went by once without a bid,
but I see it has an opening bid this time. (No connection to this auction)
I had one of these, until my son confiscated it. Since then I've replaced it
with the Kiron 70-150/4, which appears to be the same lens. They are really
excellent in quality, and have a very good macro or close-focusing feature.
The drawback is a 52mm filter size.
If you need the about the same range as the Zuiko 65-200/4, the Kiron
70-210/4 gets excellent reviews. Unlike many other 3rd-party lenses, most of
the Kiron-made lenses are praised anywhere you read about them. I have the
80-200/4.5 version, which is excellent as well, but a bit slower.
