Charles,
I think the SMC F70-210/4-5.6 is the best in class.
I've own and used the FA70-200/4-5.6 (with the power zoom) since the PZ-1 era.
It's a pretty good lens if unnerving at times (wobbly elements worry
me, but work fine).
This butterfly picture background was taken years ago on film.

Also this spider below

I'd buy the lens.
Regards, Bob S.
