Hi people,

I'm looking into buying a panoramic head for my 5d or another dslr camera.
I use a 200mm 2.8 lens alot for landscapes and would like to know if there are any brackets for holding such a lens.
I have been looking at the Manfrotto heads and as well as RRS, links below.

I'm not to worried about price, I am more worried about a system not being able to hold such a long lens.
Is there any one out there that use such a lens for such a thing?
Or does any one have better or other reconmendations?

S.

Thanks for the link.
I will have to measure the camera and lens and see if it fits.

If it isnt, get a longer nodal slide solution like this: LINK (external link)

But for the 200 prime, you should be good with the first one I posted.
