I've used the K 200/2.5 on a tripod-mounted LX with absolutely no sign of stress. (It's quite front-heavy, of course). I don't think I'd like to try the lens on a tripod-mounted ZX-5n, say, however. It really works well on a monopod-mounted body, though, where the lens is partially supported by the hand on the focus ring. Fred
