I'm kinda leaning that way, in some respects I think I can steady the thing a bit myself.
I'm probably wrong, I'll check it out next time.
From the look of your lens/mount setup it appears that this lens was built without a thought to balance on a tripod head or it was made to be used with a very heavy body.
I'm thinking my 6x7 might balance it.
If you are going to fiddle with your set up you might want to think about a lens rest at the far end of the mounting plate (the other end from where the plate attaches to the lens. As you have it now, there's a long cantilever arm from the lens plate mount to the end of the plate at the head.
Well, aren't I just the tool. I shoulda thought of that...... Thanks William Robb
