I have the new, improved Wyoming factory upgrade. :)

OK (head hung low), I guess mine doesn't focus internally either, Gary. The 
characteristic I had in mind is the fact that the barrel doesn't turn when you 
focus (but it does extend).  The 200/4 barrel turns, which makes it a little 
harder to use with the 3420 Bogen support, when you've got the lens strapped 
down and you try to make those tiny, last-second focus corrections.
