The F100-300/4.5-5.6 that I have does not change length while zooming. The FA80-320 that I tested did.
The F100-300 is pretty crappy when used wide open, but two-three stops down it renders very nice photographs. Due to that, and the focal length, it's a tripod-only lens in my opinion unless you have very bright light to work with.
