Is the olympus m zuiko 12 200mm f 3 5 6 3 good for wildlife?

Yes, with caveats. At 200mm it reaches about 400mm equivalent on Micro Four Thirds, which is plenty of reach for birds in a garden park or a zoo. The catch is the aperture: it drops to f/6.3 at the long end, so you'll want good light or a higher ISO. The page also lists it as not stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when shooting handheld.

If you're going this route, I'd pair it with a body that handles fast subjects well. The OM System OM-1 Mark II and the Olympus OM-D E-M1X are the two I'd look at first from its list of compatible cameras.

For the wider picture of what makes wildlife and sport hard, read Wildlife and sport. If you want to try this reach before committing, Buying used explains why good lenses are an easy way to test a focal length.
