Hey OM'ers,

I have been looking around at some telephoto zooms up to about
200mm and was looking for some recommendations and warnings about
what to look for and what to avoid.

I saw one zuiko 65-200f4 for around $225.  It was pretty
clean.

I looked at a zuiko 75-150 but it would not focus all the way out
to inf (pretty short, actually) so I shied away from it.

The shop owner I was talking to recommended a Vivitar 75-205f3.8
that had a "matched" 2x converter.  The focus/zoom ring was a
little loose (slight slippage when pointed directly down).
He wanted $175.  The glass appeared real clean.

Does anyone have good/bad opinions on the Vivtar?  Any thoughts
on any other lenses?

Thanks,

-bill
