Hi Folks,

I've been away for a while and am now catching up on some 700
messages.

That 80-200/2.8 would have to have at least a 77mm filter size.  The
diameter of the entrance pupil is:

        200/2.8 = 71.43

Although Olympus tends to be more efficient than most other
manufacturers at keeping their filter sizes close to their entrance
pupil diameters of their lenses, their filter size is always at
least 5-6mm greater.
