Yes it will. Very difficult to focus w/ wides and normal lens. Mildly
difficult with 200/4. A snap if I add the 2X-A or the 65~116. But i enjoy
this screen most when I want to focus the 85~250/5 @ 85 to 150mm. Zoom all
the way to 250mm, at this focal lenght the 1-8 performs very very well on
this lens, and focus on what it's your main subject of interest. Then zoom
back to the desired framing composition. Two touch zooms have some
advantages... Wonder how would it work on a Zuiko 300mm.

Enjoy it,

Fernando
