So what are the best and the worst Zuiko lenses? I know 
I bought the 200mm f4 because I was dissatisfied with the 
star rendition of the 75-150mm f4, which left a lot of 
coma on the edge of the image (on astrophotos). But for 
daytime use, it is still excellent! I think the problem 
comes from the fact that it is a zoom lens, with twice 
as many different lenses as a standard fixed-focal lens.
