Any way to mount Hasso C T*350mm lens on tripod ?

[norris_lam]

This lens does not have any tripod mount and due to its weight and

length, when it is attached to my 501CM, it's shaky and not stable

at all. this is in particular when i attach a 2x extender to it!

Please do advise me if there is any tripod mount that i can purchase

and mount on the lens? Many thanks for your advice!

Norris,<br><br>How, or rather where would a tripod collar attach to the lens?<br>The best you can do is mount the setup on a tripod in the 'normal' fashion, and try and improvise a support for the front end of the lens.

Norris,

 

Look at this thread, it may have an answer... http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-

Usually it is better to search the archives first, as you may already have an answer to the

question available, rather than having to wait for someone to answer your question.

Hello !

 

Have a look at www.hassi-foto.de, go to "Extrablatt" -> "Accessories" and scroll down to "Objektivhalter". Mrs. Hoeppner will send it worldwide.

Friends, so much thanks for your advice and this forum has never let me down. Now, i know this lens shares the same tripod mount with the Schneider 140-280mm zoom lens, then i know where to find this and use on my 350mm. Thanks for those translation as well.

Good luck to all of you, enjoy shooting.

Norris,<br><br>The Variogon has enough 'straight tube' for a collar to grip. The C 350 mm does not. I don't think the collar will work with your lens.<br>So should you decide to ask Hassi-Foto for one, make sure they give a money back guarantee if it doesn't fit. I'm sure they will; good items - good people.
