NO, I don't/didn't agree with you because you were referring how to mount the large lens/camera system to a tripod, not how to mount a large lens to the camera which is what I was talking about all along. In that context, the Kmounting system doesnt really need or have much advantage to mounting the body to the large lens like screwmounting does due to the drastic differences in mounting rotation required to mount the lens to body/body to lens. Thats all, two different things. And of course I know about tripod mounting of large lenses, but that wasnt the topic of discussion here. ( at least to me it wasnt ). jco
