My Kiron 80-200 is a f4.5, and that is the only thing I don't like about it.
It also has the zoom lock feature. It is really sharp. I've never had the
Zuiko 200/4, but really have no desire to have one with the results I get
from the Kiron. And I paid only $50 in like new condition. But I think the
original request on this thread was for something f3.5 or faster.

Some of us already have it on our watch list. Current bid price means
nothing.
