I bought this lens probably in 1980 for my Olympus om-1. I really liked it a lot and used it a fair amount. Fast-forward to 2005 when I first went digital. What with little kids and a family that would not pose, I kind of put this and my other manual lenses away. Fast forward again to 2015 when for various reasons I replaced my Evolt 300 with a used E-3. I started playing around with my old manual lenses, the 50 millimeter, the 100 millimeter and this one. And bought an 85 millimeter, 135 millimeter and 300 millimeter for the fun of it. But I keep coming back to the 200 millimeter for taking pictures of for example college lacrosse games. I need a lot of light mostly because of my almost 60 year old eyes. And I certainly don't get every picture as well as I would if I had that expensive but beautiful 50 to 200 millimeter digital Zoom that Olympus offers. But the pictures on this lens are absolutely beautiful when I correctly focus them manually. I use it exclusively handheld also. It is built like a tank and is an absolute piece of art. It feels very nice on the E3 in my hands. Which are larger than average for sure. For some of the prices I have seen ($60), it's a steal.Read full review

I use Olympus 4x3 Evolt 500 with lens adapter for non-digital lenses. This Zuiko 200mm completes my collection of ancient quality lenses. The 200mm Prime is the best of them. For intended uses the results are dramatic. My E500 is 8 yrs old and 8 megapixels. It is the glass up front that counts. It is not about the pixels. Top chromatic faith, zero: distortion, edge effect, flare. Manual focus (did that for 32 years), with still subject the results drub autofocus. Frankly I prefer the manual F-stop also. If the picture counts, these legacy lenses cannot be beat. It helps to get a clean one.
I've been using this lens on an Olympus PL7, making it 400mm, hand held, with great results. A good value for the money and fun, fun to use.
