I saw this caution first posted on Photo.net by Konrad Beck.  I'm not
aware of a primary source reference for it myself.  Unless there is a
physical limitation to the 180mm f/2.8 MC Zuiko which isn't on the
>200,000 180mm f/2.8 Zuiko, then I have my doubts about a limitation.
Too bad I don't know which combo I lens tested.
