65–200mm · f/4
The Olympus OM-System Zuiko Auto-Zoom 65-200mm f/4 is a durable, constant-aperture zoom praised for sharpness and punchy colors, outperforming some newer zooms. Its one-touch zoom/focus is ideal for wildlife and sports, and the build is robust, surviving a drop. Weaknesses include weight, difficulty using polarizers due to focusing rotation, and high used prices. The unique 65-200mm range is practical, offering a 3.07x zoom ratio. It suits photographers wanting a versatile, high-quality tele-zoom for handheld or monopod use, but not for macro work.
