Nice!

Picked up a ST 200/4 today myself. I'd love a SMCT 500 for shooting 
planes though.

Great news Christian. I'm sure you'll put it to good use.

Now all you need is a Sherpa to carry it, a tripod  head!

h  that's the second sherpa comment.  Cesar?  where are you?

Seriously, the lens is so frigging expensive that I could not buy the 
wimberley or kirk head just yet.  I might try out the sidekick which I 
hear is good for the 500mm and is half the cost of the gimbal heads.

I have the Kirk King Cobra  have no issue with it.
Check out a recent addition  - the Jobo. Looks simple  I believe is less 
costly that the full blown Wimberly  Kirk.

Now what about the tripod you'll be using.
