The balance of the 85-250 is superb when using the tripod collar.  It'll
make you wish the collar was adaptable to more long lenses. There is a
sense of rigidity in this combo.  But the large number of elements and
older design are psychologically a stumbling block for me and keeps me
from using it.

No psychological hangups here. The 85-250/5 is my most commonly used lens for landscape in the Midwest USA. I sometimes take a bagful of lenses and the zoom is the only one I use. I love everything about that lens except the speed.

I agree about the tripod mount. I can't imagine using the lens without it and have only taken about 3 photos with the lens handheld.
