I work just fine with a monopod (Bogen 3218) and ballhead (Bogen 3262) up to the biggest lens I have, which is the Sigma APO 400/5.6 Macro. But it's not that big a lens. I feel certain I'd want something different with, say a 300/2.8 or 400/2.8 or bigger. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
