I just purchased a used copy of the Olympus 50-200/2.8-3.5 (non- SWD). I am using it on an OM-D E-M1 II. The lens looks to be in good condition and performs well except that once in a while it just stops focusing. When this happens it will not even focus manually. Cycling the camera off and back on fixes the problem, the lens returns to normal operation. I am using the lens with a MMF-1 and EC-14 (from the same purchase). I haven't tested enough to know if the problem occurs without the EC-14.
Before I raise the issue with the seller I wanted to reach out to the small community that uses or has used this lens to see if this is a known problem that everyone lives with, or if I have an actual issue I should be concerned about. I hope that you don't mind me mentioning you in this post bring your attention to it.
