I also have this problem with a 400 f5.6 lense, it does not have a tripod
collar. I am still looking for something suitable, but have not found
anything yet. I have been meaning to try a telescope shop, surely there
is some sort of bracket that will fit......

Olympiads,
I have found that the 2X converter and the 200mm lens is a bit awkward when
the camera is mounted on a tripod. I have to really crank down on the
tripod and head screws else I get creep. When I try to use a Minolta
panorama head it sags a bit to much for comfort. And if I try to make
changes in the position of the camera vertically then it is a real nuisance.
What solutions do any of you, fellow Olympiads, use for this setup? I went
to a large, "professional" camera store and was told that there aren't any
generic lens collars on the market! I saw in Bogen's catalog that they
make a telephoto support/harness but I haven't seen one in a store. Does it
require a lens collar that is built in to the lens to attach to?
I haven't see anything in Porter's catalog.
Does/Did Olympus make anything along these lines?
