Sorry to disappoint you, but the 65-200mm Zuiko zoom does not change length
as the focal length changes, even though it is a one-touch zoom. However,
the moving lens group is nearest to the film plane when the lens is set to
200mm, so that focal length is the one where the centre of gravity is
nearest to the camera tripod mount.
