I had one of the Manfrotto 468MGRC2 heads. It's very strong, clamps very securely, but the RC2 mount wasn't really all that precise. One of these heads fitted with an Arca-Swiss QR clamp would work well. But they're not as smooth or precise as the Acratech, Kirk Photo or Markins heads. I use an Acratech Ultimate Ball head with the Pentax 50-135 and Olympus ZD 50-200 lenses. Very strong, very smooth. The lenses are about the same weight, but the Pentax 50-135 does not have a tripod mount which means the head has to work a bit harder.
