Rob, since I just picked up a 300/4.5 with tripod mount, I think you might 
like that lens, although longer certainly wouldn't hurt.  But longer would 
cost a lot more, of course.  I too, was thinking of a telescope/spotting 
scope combination, but read somewhere that the f-stops go up fast as you 
increase magnification.  So you won't get the light gathering ability with a 
telescope/spotting scope and adapter that a Zuiko lens will give you.
