Re: AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR is coming
I have AS plates from Kirk, they are probably generic enough to fit a new lens that I might want. I don't want to buy a custom plate for each lens any more, it's just too expensive.
actually they wouldn't get sued as they would have a tough time proving so called dominance and its just as easy to slap any other plate onto a AS type plate. the AS type plate really doesn't change a thing.
for the most part you have choices and the additional minor and i do mean minor cost over the $9000+ is almot laughable.
using the $3100 (at this time) Sigma as a reference. they built theirs as a complete unified structure. and none of the specialists were going to create a whole new setup (original is removable) so RRS just adapted another plate to it as do others. is been on since i got the lens years ago and it cost a whole $55.
