I prefer two touch zooms in general,
I find if you point the 80-200 lens up or down at a reasonable angle you
get zoom creep. I guess its because so many elements in the 80-200 move
when you zoom the weight of the elements overcomes the friction.
At least 77mm is an available filter size. My bronica 100-220 zoom is 95mm
filter - ugh
