Thanks to all!

To sum up the question I had about what telephoto lens to go for:

I have read all the mails and I think I understood that:
1. The Zuiko 400/6.3 is a very good lens, but quite expensive even for a
second hand lens.

2. A Sigma APO 400/5.6 is a very good alternative and is a quality lens
as well.

3. That using a Zuiko 300/4.5 and a Zuiko 1.4x TC is a very good
alternative and perhaps just as good (or better?) than the Zuiko
400/6.3.

4. That I should avoid any mirror lens.

5. That a Tokina 400/5.6 may be a good buy as the quality is quite good
and the price is nice. (Then what about adding a 1.4x TC and get
560/7.8??)

There are a whole lot more to be said, and I still wonder. I must say
though, that point 3 and 4 seem to be the best, due to the cost/quality.
Have I understand it all? Is there something I have missed? Let me know
then!

No matter what I thank you all, I have gained more information here than
from any camera dealer ever! I am serious!

Have a nice day/
