Hey all.  I have the opportunity to but a Zuiko 75-150 for about $130.  My
issue is that I have a 80-200 Vivitar macro, which I like.  It is about 8-10
yrs. old, so it is a relatively good one from Vivitar's standards.  It is a
push-pull type with 200mm being closest to the camera (i.e. not extended).
I have had good expereinces with older Vivitar lenses.  For example, my
Vivitar 28mm 2.8 took sharper pics that the 2.8 f2.8 Zuiko, especially as
the edges.  The 28mm Vivitar is a bigger lens though (boy would I like the
f2.0 Zuiko 28mm!!!).  So what should I do?  The 75-150 Zuiko is not
push-pull, but I am unsure if the upgrade is warranted.  Anyone face the
same decision before or can comment on the lens?  It is for an OM-1(n).

Thanks for reading!!!

-Will
