Olympus 50-200mm f2.8-3.5
Aug 8, 2007

Does anyone have any experience with this lens. Is it worth the close to $900 for it.

How does it fare with the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L. I own a Canon system with the 70-200mm f2.8 L and it is one of the sharpest zooms they make. I was wondering if the Olympus 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 was similar when it comes to image quality.
