The foot on the D.Zuiko 50-200 is an oddball shape. The best Arca-Swiss
style lens plate I've found for it is the Really-Right-Stuff plate B21 which
is used for the OM bodies. It provides a firm grip but doesn't really
provide an appropriate lip to prevent rotation as is done for most lenses.
Has anyone found a source for a better plate?
FYI -
The RRS recommended B9 for OM tripod adapters such as used on the macro tube
and small telephotos such as the 300/4.5 is probably a little too small but
works well with Vivitar S1 90/2.5 macro, the Vivitar S1 solid CAT lenses,
and the Tokina 80-200/2.8.
The RRS plate B76 is slightly longer than the tripod adapter foot but
probably a better match for the OM equipment than the B9.
The Kirk LP3 is also slightly longer than the tripod adapter foot but a good
match if you want to have the flash bracket option.
The RRS plate BOE-1 designed for the E-1 works well.
I'll try to post some pictures.
