If 50-200 Zuiko is fast (like f/2.8), then it could be preferable
because ultimately it will give you even closer reach. If you decide to
go with K-7, I suggest a battery grip that may help your steadiness.

I have been using faster lenses (77/1.8) for stage productions until
now, but want to get a bit closer with a zoom. Do any of you who have
this lens feel that it will focus reliably in sometimes dim stage
lights with a K-7? Because of the added length, I'm taking a Porter
bean bag to use as a rest.
What ISO do I dare use indoor under incandescent lighting from
floods? I'm shooting it entirely RAW, so I can fiddle with color
correction later on the Mac.
What say you? Feedback from the intelligentsia is welcomed, gas-baggy
or not, whoopee cushion or not, and I won't criticize your reading
ability. My only other long telephoto choices are 70-200 2.8 Sigma
(10 years old), or a 50-200 Zuiko that I got with my E-1 (but I can
use it on my more recent Panasonic.
