Kirk sells a tripod collar for a specific Nikon lens, the last time I
looked. They weren't interested in a similar collar for my 300 4.5 FA when
last I approached them.

I had one of those once. Yes,
the lack of a collar is concerning.
>From my memory, I tended to push down on the camera
body during the
shot to at least take some pressure of the tripod mount in
the base
of the camera. Doesn't really help with the lens
mount.
I believe Manfrotto makes an attachment that works for
lenses like
this giving them support. You might want to look into
that.
