I should also add with regard to lens hood use on a tele-zoom . . .

In a long prime, the rear element is typically well forward of the lens 
mounting flange and there are light baffles between the rear element and 
lens mount . . . which should make it less prone to certain types of 
off-axis flare.

Unlike long primes, the rear element of a tele-zoom is usually at or very 
near the lens mount leaving no room for any light baffles.  In the case of 
this specific 80-200/2.8 Tamron, the rear element doesn't move and it's 
right at the lens mount.
