You may want to use the A lens with a program or AF camera eventually. I have the A 70-210 and the Tak version of the 80-200/4.5 and have taken very good photos with the 80-200. It has no zoom creep. The A is probably optically superior but it does creep.
I see two versions of the M80-200 on Boz's website. The A70-210 is heavier. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Wunsch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 12:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 70-210/F4 vs 80-200/F4.5 Thanks to some of your earlier opinions, I have narrowed down my choice for a zoom to either a SMC-A 70-210/f4 or a M80-200/f4.5. I can get the first lens for $120US and the M80-200 for slightly less. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again for any and all comments! Pat Wunsch
