Zuiko AUTO-Zoom 65-200mm f/4.0 MACRO

I always thought Zuiko lenses presents very good value to their users and this Zuiko zoom is another typical example. At the time, most manufacturers were offering tele-zoom lenses which usually came with a popular range falls between 80-200 or 70-210mm, Olympus has created another zoom with an rather uncustomary zoom range from 65-200mm during a period probably between* 1984/1986. Although odd on papers but it is very practical as the wide-end of its zoom approaches filed of view close to standard vision at 37° and its 3.07X zoom ratio is the widest in its class. Come to think of it, actually it is one of its kind in an all OM custom essence but who bothers as long as we consumers benefits from its thoughtful design ? So this "new" zoom range remains as an Olympus' proprietary original design and there is no comparing optic with similar zoom range being offered thus far.

Well, up to the early '90 as this lense is one of the two remaining tele-zoom Olympus was still offering in their Zuiko lineup, if it can still such sustaining power cruising through evolution in lense development all these years - it must have its own strength, right ? Yes. first of all, this highly portable one touch-zoom has a very practical focal length, its single zoom and focusing control is easy and quick to use, it has a fairly fast aperture as compared with other Zuiko tele-zooms in its class and lastly, it delivers more than acceptable optical performance that one would expect it to be with just a modest price it calls.
