Hi,
I bought myself a pretty decent macro lens (Tokina At-X 90mm f2.5) which is rather heavy (700gr with extender). For macro I do need to use a tripod, but the lens doesn't have a collar with tripod-mount. So I need to use the tripod-mount on the E-PL1 and the mount of the camera is carrying all the weight. Will that work and hold without doing damage to the E-PL1?
Are there other solutions to support the lens while it is on a tripod?
Thanks for any input!
