What do you mean distorted? You aren't trying to use it hand held with no hand on the lens are you? It's the camera that distorts the mount so a heavier camera will weigh it down a little but in reality has little effect. Tamron actually made a palm rest that screws into the lenses tripod mount (I have one). Works good if you like using a 300/2.8 lens without a monopod at least. Kent Gittings

I have heard that the adaptors (not particular sturdy btw) could be distorted by the weight of this lens. I have no personal experience though. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
