    200-500mm Tripod Collar ??

    Well shoot!! @Roy1961 & @jtgraphics I have hand tightened the knob on the collar and I can hold the lens and the collar can be turned feeling resistance, but not hard however. I will investigate more later. I will remove the collar and see what I can see like maybe a piece of plastic or...

    200-500mm Tripod Collar ??

    I have never been around a lens large enough to require a tripod collar so this is new to me. I haven't investigated this completely, but before I break something does the tripod collar tighten down enough to keep the lens from rotating or is there still some friction movement when it is...

    Calculating for Future Purchases

    Well the journey has begun. I have the 200-500mm lens and a B&W 95mm Multicoated Clear filter on order. I also found a used (Excellent condition) TC14E II that I also ordered on the recommendation of @BackdoorHippie. Now the waiting game begins. :unconscious:

    Which flash should i buy ?

    I really haven't had any issues with my flash under very limited use, but for the much lower price than Nikon even if there wasn't a warranty I feel I would be money ahead. Many on here are using Yongnuo flashes and have not had any problems. I feel it is a very good product with it's...

    I am a believer in filters to protect the lens (Not to debate this) so will probably get one for the 200-500 if I purchase it. I have either a clear or CP-L on all of my lenses 99% of the time, except the Tokina 11-16. I have been hesitant to add the additional glass on the UW due to the...
