    Question Canon FD 80-200 F4L or Panasonic 45-200?

    So a while back, I picked up a Canon FD 80-200 F4L to try out with my E-PL2. The image quality is awesome (as you would expect from an L glass) and I do enjoy using it, provided that I have enough time to setup a shot.

    I've been debating whether or not to replace it with a Panasonic 45-200 as having autofocus would be great. From the reviews I've been reading, the image quality is sharp, but I'm guessing it'll fall a bit short when compared to an L glass.

    What do all of you think: keep the FD or replace it with the Panny?

    Get the 45-200 it's a great under rated m43 lens. I had a 14-140 as well and it was a super versatile lens.

    I've been leaning towards the 45-200 - I was just hesitant because the IQ is nice on the FD.

    Do you have any idea what a reasonable asking price for the FD would be?

    Got me beat on that one as there isn't much demand for old mount mf zooms. It might just be worth keeping it and getting a 45-200

    Not sure how much you have to pay for duty and shipping but this is a smoking deal.
