I do recall that it seemed more difficult to hold the rig still today on the 4/3 setup than I recalled when using the same lens/TC combo on a regular SLR. I learned one other thing, as well. After using the 200mm + TC for about half an hour, I felt some slight play when I came back in the house. I traced it to the Fotodiox adapter, which is built in two halves and assembled with set screws in the edge. I tightened the screws and all was well, but I would have hated to depend on the adapter to hold a heavy lens in rough service. Thanks for your comments and advice.
