Gareth:

I only saw the 50-250 once or twice in my life. As I recall, it
is not based on the 85-250 design. Insteadd, It's a 1-touch zoom
which IMHO is best described as a Zuiko 65-200/f4 "on steroids".
Although not nearly as long as the 85-250, the 50-250 is not
exactly "petite" either.

Never the less, for the benefit of those who had never met him
in person, let me tell ya that PvT is one tall, strong, in-shape
Texan, whose physical appearance and demeanor belie his age (close
to retirement ??). Hence, I'd take him at his word on the above.

Cheers,
