p.88 #1 · The Nikon 200mm f/2 Thread - part 2


4 years of shooting with Maximus Prime, and still hold to the claim that it'll be one of the last lenses I'll ever part with. Got some strong interest in the new 105e however.

I'm sorry Elijah. Please forgive me. I didn't mean for my reply to imply in any way that you were "stupid". My reply was not intended to be directed towards you. When watching the animation in the link that was provided, it shows clearly that it was attached to the camera body and not the lens.... which spurred my question. Viewing the photo which you provided, I can see you have the lens supported, which satisfies my suspicion that your method would be the correct way to go. Thank you for clarifying this for me!.

I also use a spider belt.

With the 200mm, I have an RSS plate on the lens connected to the arca swiss spider clamp. It looks like an intense setup, but it works well for me.

With a 70-200, I just have an RSS plate on the lens with a spider "ball" screwed into the plate

With smaller lenses, I use the arca swiss spider clamp directly on the l-bracket of my camera body. Works well for my DF and D4S.

I use a Hejnar AS foot on my 200 f/2 and it completely changes it. I highly recommend it.



I have also added the Hejnar foot to my 200 f2 and it's a great aid when hand holding the lens, and also serves as a carrying handle. Well worth the $$$

Will, a Bushhawk isn't going to work in Erich's case, at least not for transporting. Erich also doesn't have a Chubby, YET.

Now if this daggone weather would start cooperating around here, I could use mine.

Erich, You really DO need one, you really DO need one, and you really DO want one. Be honest You'd work wonders with it on those equestrian events.

This is how I'm going to justify my 200 f2:

Instead of going on vacation, get the lens instead.

Stop posting these great shots on this thread! I broke my wrist in a soccer game, had a surgery, and now have my left hand in cast. And there is no way to shoot with Chubby with one hand

So seeing these great shots here, while having the lens sitting in the closet just adds to my wrist pain

Can't you have the doctor add an Arca-swiss clamp into the cast?


Get well soon!
