Hi Bill,

The over-hang of the RTF sticks out so far that apart from making the aperture 
ring difficult to access it also prevents the 200/4 Macro from being rotated to 
allow portrait orientation as the control knobs hit the protrusion. So it is 
usable but it's a right pain when you are used to just spinning the camera/lens 
on the tripod mount to frame the subject.

Cheers,
