john_smythe Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 For close-up work with D1x with Nikon 85mm f2.8 PC shift lens on Arca B2 ball, RRS B16 converter clamp for body will allow basic (very solid) setup. I want to add extension for close-up and use a focus rail, and as far as posible stay with Arca style components. PN-11 tube would be too recessed for rail without spacer, but rotation is needed. Lens weighs 770gm - too much on tubes for body mounting. RRS site offer stuff for 200mm micro, nothing for 85mm PC. They do not support email. Suggestions would be most appreciated from those with experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Have you tried a Nikon PK-13 extention tube? This has a rotating rollar built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_smythe Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 I think you mean the PN-11 tube which has tripod mount and rotation. The PK-13 is a plain extension tube. What I am after is a rail to fit this combo. In particular a rail that is Arca style clamp compatible and allows the tilt/shift lens to move freely.

craig_bridge Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Have you tried a PN-1l on a plate in the RRS B16 on your focus rail? Kind of clunky spacer, but if you've got it... A PN-11 on a plate in my Kirk long rail plate (macro slider) won't let my D1X with L bracket rotate. I put a clamp on a bidirectional plate to use as a spacer and/or clamp rotation device to solve this and other issues. Not sure if the RRS B76/B97 under a PN-11 would be enough clearance.
