It's actually a very sharp lens. Unfortunately, since f/2.8 has become "de rigeur" for such zooms, they sell for very little money.
I find using a pump action zooms on (current) m4/3 cameras awkward, as manual focus isn't that well implemented and having one focus/zoom ring makes it even worse . YMMV.
Since this is a "true zoom", it allows focusing at 200 then zooming to other FL's.
200/4 is at the moment not available on M43 natively. So there is some relevance I suppose. This would be a nice daylight lens on a D7000, or maybe even D600, given the useful electronic focusing assistance and auto aperture indexing.
It was a very expensive lens at the time, without any justification for that level of pricing as the lowly 70-210/4 E series more than matches (in fact exceeds in some tests) its optical performance.
Wide open, it's no match to today's native lenses, but from 5.6 onwards should be decent.
