Hi all!  Just traded an old N*kk*r 105/2.5 for a near mint Zuiko 200/4.  I
*think* I see a hint of green in the coating, but it doesn't say MC.
(Serial number 260*** -- anyone know if this is multi-coated?)

I'm wondering what the consensus is regarding this lens, or whether there
even is one.  The tests seem all over the map.  Some seem to think it's a
great lens, even hand-held; Mr. Reese seems to have decided you have to
nail it down to a support to really get decent results.  (Although the new
test results are pretty impressive, it seems; holds its own with the
180, at some apertures.)

And what about the 2xA converter?  Someone in the archives suggested you
could *hand-hold* it with the converter attached!  That would be
something:  a 400mm lens that didn't require a tripod...


In short, I'm wondering what I've bought.



cheers,


Doug
