One thing I've done lately is avoid all contact with other
brands of cameras. I think I'd rather not know what I'm
missing. But tomorrow I'm going to be gracing a store that has
a D2X, D200, 1DsMii and 5D in stock. Argh!

Boy, some of us are still living in the dark ages, I guess. ;)
I'm still using my 200/4 as it really does such a fine job on
the E-1 for sports photography. My Vivitar 285's voltage is of
the modern wuss variety. No AF speed problems here.
Totally serious here: My 200/4 really is an outstanding little
lens for sports work. In 35mm parlance, it's a 400/4 which you
can handhold and slip into a jacket pocket! Sharp? Sharp
enough for the E-1's sensor.
