[LRflex] Re: Telyt 400mm matters

Bill:


This is more of a negative than a positive but may shorten your search.

I purchased an Ergopod ("chest" mounted tripod - third leg is in front as a 
hand grip) for use with my R9 with Motor drive and the 28-90 apsh or 
(especially) the 70-180 APO.  For those lenses it is perfect.

For the 400 Telyt it is not.  Sholder stock - or a variant of that concept - 
is the only way to go with the 400 or 560.
