I have both and the 180mm is about half the size of the 80-200mm. The
80-200 came with a tripod mount(albeit a flimsy one)for a reason. The
Tamron 180 is slightly smaller than the Zuiko and stays that way as it
has internal focus while the Zuiko doesn't. Don't get me wrong, the
Zuiko is one heck of a fine lens. Oh, BTW I have a mint one with
caps,case & instructions I would like to send to a new home at about
$150 less than Johnny Quinns opening bid on his lens. Both Tamrons
record sharp images and I suspect in my case most lack of quality with
either of these two has to do with operator rather than design &
engineering problems. Give a good photographer a disposable camera and
they will produce good images . . . sometimes with even the best
equipment I find a way to mess things up. Sometimes not and that is
what keeps me burning film. Bill Barber
