Nikon 240mm F.5.6 & Shen Hao HZX45IIA

[gary_s.]

Hi,

 

Quick question just to get everybody's opinion. I managed to find in a

secondhand store in Japan a Nikon 240mm F/5.6 in a copal 3 shutter

mounted on a Toyo lensboard(I know that needs to be changed). It was

incredibly cheap, which makes me suspect the owner of this shop had no

idea what it was. The lens it self is beautiful, no marks and shutter

functions perfectly(used a shutter tester).

 

However, this lens is huge, and it weighs a lot. I think about 800

grams or so. I was wondering if you thought it was safe to use this

monster on the HZX45. I was wondering if it might be a little to heavy

to use without damaging the camera???!?

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanx!

 

Gary

No problem Harry ! I have a Fujinon A 300mm mounted on my Shen Hao. The camera is like a tank, you will have no problem unless shooting in windy conditions.
