Re: [OM] Advice from Zuiko f5/50-250 zoom owners

[Ken Norton]

This is normal behavior. It accomplishes two tasks:

1. It corrects some optical issues at the wide-end.
2. It provides for a fixed maximum aperture throughout the zoom range.

Without it, the lens would be a bit faster at the wide-end (usually
about a half stop).
