Jim,

The lens does not really flare out at the end like the fast teles, its the hood 
that makes it look that way.  My sole "complaint" is the lens is a bit on the 
heavy side, but its not a problem.  All I pack now is a 24mm, 50mm Macro, and 
the 80-200 zoom with the OM-2n for backup.  It is large enough to handle well 
(my hands are on the large side).  Mounting on a tripod is done via the 
baseplate socket - nothing special at all.  The cost is a bit much to choke 
down.  The Yen exchange rate was around 105 per U
SD when I bought mine, so I paid more than $1100 <gulp!>.  I can no tell any 
difference between a photo taken with the zoom vs a fixed length lens.  Its 
good.  For the same money, you can probably cover the whole range and have $$$$ 
left over but then you could spend all your time changing lenses......  It 
works for me and if I had it to do over again, I would without hesitation.

John,
