This lens is slight shorter and lighter than the F/FA*300/4.5. It should be ok as long as you don't walk around and hang the combo on your shoulder. One blow might be enough to rip the mount off (just a guess). If mounted on tripod, just don't use the FG battery grip. >Also, has anyone had problems with a ZX-M and metal-mount lenses, wear and >tear on the body mount from changing lenses often? The plastic mount is easy and cheap to replace. The weak links are the 5 screw holes on the body. The plastic mount itself is quite thick and rigid so don't worry. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
