Hi RAWR,,,,,,,,,,thank for your help,,,,,however after 25 respondants, my question was STILL not answered,,,,,,,,,,

Do i "NEED" a tripod mount for the 300mm... do you have to use it, or if you have pro ball mount that can support the
weight, cant I just mount the camera on the ballhead instead of the collar....

I have tried it and the lens does NOT dip like some say and the tirpod does not fall over either....and photos are sharp...

the only reason I need to know is that I was outside having a photo session and a "know it all" told me "there should be a collar on that lens!"

I really appreciate EVERYONE who took time to answer......


I apologize for angering or confusing any....

happy shutters!

Interesting,,,,,,,,,,,15 people answered my question,,,,,,,,,,but,,,,,,,,NO one answered the question....

which means i am forced to find the solution elsewhere....

I thought people on a forum would be knowledgeable about a given issue,instead the 15 peoplee had a forum among themselves, neither one was able to figure out which lens I have , or the the question i asked,,

I am deeply sorry for asking such a stupid question,,,,,,,,,i appreciated ALL the answers but it will not happen again...

happy shutters to all!

Sorry,,,,,,,,,,,the lens I have is an SMC 300mm f4.0 MANUAL lens. (non DSLR) also not DA FA OR *,, it looks like its has a spot for a mount..
it did not come with one or when it was retail ,,,,,,,,,,but should i still get one...
the tripod mount I have is the MATTON BM-20 it can carry a 25lb. load,,,,,my camera ( K200d + 300mm) is no where near it and the mount holds everything without sagging, and when I need to go vertical or to move it,I loosen the mount,
hold the the lens and reposition it quite easily..

hello,,,,,,,,,,and thanks for the kind words and unexpected quick response,,,,,,,,,,,I noticed a quite a few answers blamed ME for being kicked out of a meeting I went to.
no.....I did not do anything to cause this,,,,,,,,,,I am a nice person who is his 50's and I am NOT a trouble maker.....I will tell the story.

I went to a photo club meeting I wanted to join to learn more of this hobby,,,,,,,,,,I went in sat down to watch the presentation a member was showing.after that was 15-20 min. of how are you, nice to meet you etc. my gear was in my bag at the time,,,then one asked what kind of camera i had,,,,,,i removed my K3iis and fa*300mm and then it started,,,,,one back up and said " holy F.... thats a pentax", another said " we dont need people like you in here", another said" sorry you cant join you have a pentax"

so,,,,as you can see its was NOT me,,,,,,,,I hope this makes it clear of what I meant and what people think of pentax or its owners...

PS> I know my K3 will take better photos than a Nican,,,,,why its a Third of the cost!

Hello ,,,everyone my name is joe,,,,I am a happy owner of a K200D,,,,,,I would like to ask as I am afraid of going elsewhere as to why EVERYONE on earth becomes homicidal when you say pentax to them,,whether its in a photo club( actually kicked out of a general meeting cause I own a pentax!)
or on the internet or in a photography store ( henrys), why does everyone think ONLY CANON or NIKON exists..........

I read reviews of pentax K series dslrs and they receive very high marks,so why the hatred?they are more affordable, and just as reliable and take s just as good images even better than canon or nikon! so why the dislike......

as Soon as you say pentax they say," i want a CANON or NIKON............

can someone please let me know why.......
