Ok, i'm sure i've overlooked a simple thing, but, how do you mount
those long
pieces of glass
using the lens tripod collar.
I was able to mount the Sigma 300 F2 and the istD on my monopod with ball head
and quick
release no
problem,as the istD body is a lot smaller than the D2H(see Nikon vs Pentax
thread<g>)
When i tried to mount the Sigma 170-500 to the monopod and tripod the body(D2H)
got in the
way of
the release switch. I tried mounting the lens,then the camera,but all that got
me was dust
on my sensor
and it would not mount to the lens mount on the camera .
Any suggestions. Is there a certain type of head for these things.?
I'm sure i'm missing something obvious here.
BTW both of these lenses are quite nice. The 300F4 focuses quite fast on the
istD. On
screen the
shots i took look good,but a print will tell.
The 170-500 is actually not bad for hand holding/panning. I did use the truck
and fence
posts for
stability.Now to decide if i should go zoom or look for a 400 for the D2h.
