those two should be nice. My personal experience is limited to 2/90,
2.8/180 (both nice) and 4,5/300 (hardly used, because with that length
AF would be nice..., it's possible but more prone to light haze in the
air dampening the contrast)

> 200/4

Worth a try, I guess.
With the teles I do find it a little bothersome that once you have
focussed and closed to dewired f-stop, you have no control if your
object is moving.

BTW, rumour is getting louder that there will be a 45-150mm f2,8-3,5
lens for about 300 Euro to go mainly with the new E300 (Evolt or 
whatsoever). But of course that's digital. Anyhow it's a lot cheaper 
than the excellent 50-200 and maybe a solution for people (like me) that 
would rather wait or save for a prime.

As far as I've heard and seen from a lot of pros with both Canon and E-1 
setup, it's a blessing :)

It *really is quiet and has a very pleasant sound. Sort of *ssshhhhlbb* 
:)) Pressure point is very subtle.

Just my 2 eurocents...

have a nice day
