Very nicely done. The 50-200 is a great lens. Of course, you must have -- I
repeat: must have -- the 1.4 TC to go with it. If I weren't so lazy (and
busy), I'd post a few bluebird shots I took just a half hour ago out on the
deck hand-holding this combo on the E-1. But I'm in charge of the chili, and
there's a Lady Vols BB game on the tube at 3:00 and the Super Bowl later, and
after "wasting" a half hour taking pictures, I'm about a beer and a half behind
schedule.
My only gripe with the 50-200 is the tripod mount. It works fine on all my
tripods using the Cullmann QR plates, but it gets in the way with twisting the
zoom ring when hand-holding the lens. I cure that the same way I make the
Tamron 80-200/2.8 comfortable to hand-hold: loosen the locking screw and turn
the damn tripod mount up to the top of the lens and out of the way. Looks
weird, but it works.
