Zuiko 50-200mm F/2.8-3.5 – [Are Four-Thirds lenses worth buying?]

I bought myself a Four-Thirds lens. It is the 50-200mm f2.8 – 3.5. It is not the SWD-version of that lens. Mine is the original from 2003. I have never had Four-Thirds lenses before and was curios how they perform with a m4/3 body.

The mount is different and an adapter is needed. I also bought the MMF-3 from Kamerastore. They have a lot of used camera gear.

My biggest concern was the AF-speed. That is a thing to consider if you have to use an adapter between the lens and the body.

With a camera that has Phase Detection AF, it works ok. It is not the fastest, but it can be used without too much frustration. As you see from the video below that bird photography can be done. I was very happy with the overall performance.
