Cons: being into shooting butterflies, the zuiko 70-300 with EX-25 is still necessary for macros. also the close focus distance of 2.5 m could better be 1m only. said this, it is to mention that similar lesnes of the competistion do have even longer cloes focus distances.
Pros: perfect colour rendition, good contrast and works very well with EC-14 and EC-20. with ec-14 also fully open the images are very sharp. on ec-20 normally i use it stopped down by half stop. so, it gives with ec-14 a 4/705mm and with ec-20 a 5.6(6.3)/1000mm equivalent with less than 4 kg. i use it free hand without tripod the whole day. autofocus works well with ec-14 and ec-20. but autofocus seems to be a bit nervous - on e-3 i switched af-sensor to "small", so it is easy without tripod to trail off the target and the autofocus immediately reacts.
Summary: for me the perfect ultra tele lens for wildlife. i do NOT regret a bit having paid so much money for this sharp beast.

Cons: Cost! Size and weight. If you have the 50-200 and think it is a big lens to carry don't get this one.
Pros: 180mm-500mm equivalent with very good image quality
Summary: not sure if I would get this again. The 50-200mm is smaller lighter focuses faster - with the SWD version. This lens is not much longer and only half a stop faster. The IQ is better with the 90-250mm but you have to really want it to pay for the lens and then carry it.
