 The 200/4 barrel turns, which makes it a little
harder to use with the 3420 Bogen support, when you've got the lens strapped
down and you try to make those tiny, last-second focus corrections.

The barrel on my 200/4 does not turn. It just extends. A good lens from that era never rotated on focus because it would throw off your polarization. It was before circular polarizers were needed to deal with other issues in the metering.
