<< 50-250 does outperform 65-200 at 180-200mm. Nevertheless, I confess that 
 65-200 is a very surprising and exceptional lens, which is usually 
 underrated.
 
 I have both 65-200 and 50-250, the same size, similar weight, both 
 extremely good performers. But, I just cannot part with any of them...
 Nor can I with the 70-210/2.8-4 Ser1 Vivitar. Vivitar is fast, 65-200 
 *is* really better and slower, and 50-250 is the best, and slowest.
 
 Am I nuts??

I am quite ill; I can't part with anything at all but I may be forced to for 
space reasons. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with the Tamron 
180/2.5 as compared to Zuikos in the 180-200 range? As I recall it did well 
in Modern Photo tests.
