It is rather front heavy on an OM body, and in that very troublesome,
vibration prone 135-200mm range. So expect that tripod mounted shots
without taking extra measures to reduce vibration will result in less
than optimal performance. Such was probably the case with my OM-1 based
lens test. BTW, the one I tested was not Warren's lens, so YMMV.
