Most of us can't afford ultra-fast glass. In any case, how often does one shoot in extremely low light with a 200? And the SMC 200/4 is an excellent lens. When shooting with the 28, a shutter speed of 1/15 or 1/30 is quite manageable. And that's easy to achieve at 3.5 with most films and lighting conditions. No, they're not premium lenses, but they'll take fine pictures. Hell, I've even shot in the dead of night with my M 200/4. See http://www.portfolios.com/zoom.wga?User_number=stenquist&imagecount=15 They're not as fast as the big money, big glass. But they're not "too slow."
