I use D200 too, and I was using Bogen's 303SPH for panoramic photo, but the rigidity of the

head is not very good, so just like you are, I'm also thiking about getting L bracked (Kirk or

RRS). However, there is one elbow bracket from Bogen which takes RC2 plate, since I already

have a head with RC2 if this head is rigid enough I don't have to spend extra $100+, so I'm

just curious has anyone here ever used the elbow bracket from Bogen(3157N)? It's just

$54.95.

What modifier did you use for your Hensel? Lightbox? or Unbrella? It seems your fathers face

is getting fairly large soft reflection, so I also wonder how close the light souce was.

The shock getting from each lense is different.

35mm F2.8 : no shock (same as latest DX lenses).

50mm F1.4 : noticeable shock.

135mm F2.8 : minor shock but not as much as 50mm F1.4.

 

I looked at inside of D200 mirror box and there is no sign of scratch or dent.

 

I also posted same topic to one of Japanese photo related BBS and got answer from a guy

saying his D2X had same problem and after using the camera several weeks (with the

sympton present) he had to send the camera for repair (for broken stopdown lever).

Thank you everyone for swift response. Yes, the black protrusion on the Michael�s picture is the notch (slug) what I was talking about. My 50mmF1.4 has extra long slug there (for FA and F4 metering). I�ll post some pictures tonight.

I have very old Ai50mm f1.4. When the lense is used on D200, I feel little shock everytime I

shoot. It seemed something is hitting inside the mirror box, so I took out the lense and

compare with other Ai lenses and I noticed that my Ai50mmF1.4 has extra long notch which

my 35mmF2.8 doesn't have (well, I know that the notch is for but I don't see any difference

other than the notch) . Does anyone know if this notch is something I should remove before I

use the lense on D200?
