For it's focal length it is very light and small, even when extended, and works very well on a good (see "large") ball head due to the pretty decent tripod collar.
With anything like 300/2.8, 400/2.8, 500/4 600/5.6 or 600/4... Now that's big glass and a gimbal mount is the only choice. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
