As Chuck has pointed out, when tested by a similar camera, the OM1 with
mirror lock-up, the 200/4 is no better, in fact if may not be as good at
f/5.6 and f/8.. Maybe if the Series 1 200/3 were tested on an OM2000, it
might look okay at f/3.
As someone else indicated, it's not likely you'd lose much if you later
wanted to sell it on epay, especially if it is in good cosmetic shape and
has the original cap.
