Review 2 of 3

Price Paid: $185.00 from vintage visuals

Summary:

Zuiko zoom 100mm-200mm f5. I am interested in hearing from anyone else who may have this same lens. Have only taken 4 (yes only 4) pictures so far with this lens mounted on OM-1. Pictures are very very sharp edge to edge. When did this lens go out of production? I like it but don''t know much about it.

Strengths:

Seems to me well built / solid.

Weaknesses:

None yet but am partial to OM/ZUIKO products.

Similar Products Used:

Nikon

Customer Service:

None required yet.
