Ken, this is a truism. But if the lens is short enough and the tripod
with post extension is "good enough", I do it without thinking twice.
Mind you, once I have even a K135 f2.5 on the pod, I tend to go into
"big glass mode". But heck, an M50 f1.4? Yeah, extend if you want to.

Center post extension just increases tripod head "instability/movement".
All my three tripods have no center post Bogen 3221, Gitzo 1548 & 1410.
