Hi Joel,
You have a nice group of images there, and the rig is interesting. I
have a Leica -R 250/4 which I have used on 4/3 and mirrorless bodies.
But my old tripod is nowhere nearly as nice and steady as your rig.
I had a Pentax push-pull at one time when shooting film, and never quite
fell in love with it. Somehow, that motion just doesn't come as natural
to me as barrel rotation.

I have a small gallery of shots made with my OM-5DmkII and the Tamron
200-400 in native EF mount. I like Tamron lenses. I have a 24-135, which
was a EOS film lens. I recently bought the 200-400 from KEH to extend the
range for those times when one wants all the niceties.
It's a nice lens to work with. Not fast at f5.6, but bright enough for
me. Bokeh is plentiful even at f11 with this lens. My shots were all at
f8 or f11. It requires careful focusing. Nice tripod mount, useful, and
heavily used by me. Push-pull zoom and internal focusing. When focused at
200mm it stays in focus nearly out to 400mm, which is good because the
working distance is kind of far. The lens and camera are heavy and I use a
heavy Manfrotto tripod for all it's worth. There are three photos of the
combo at the end of the gallery.
The test period has aligned with the waning period of day lilies in my
neighborhood. I got a fair number of shots that I like with it -- more
importantly, that my wife likes -- though I fear it will bore most of you
(just warning you).
