Hi all,

How can anyone mount an OM + Winder2 + 200/4 to a Manfortto 293 Telephoto
Lens Support [Bogen Manfrotto 3420]

This morning I found:
1- fixing screw is too long for winder's female screw (this can be worked
out)
2- Body + winder are too tall, therefore lens is about 2 cm. higher than
front support piece. In other words, the piece which would support the lens
is too short. The 85~250 flies over it.
3- **Telephoto lens support at minimum length is longer than the Body +
200/4. The flat sinthetic strip can fix the 200/4 by its hood, not by its
body.**

3 is most important issue, can't figure out how to improve this.
How was this managed previously? I mean published results showing
improvement using a lens support.

Was this 293 designed for use on wunderbricks only? :((
And I love italian design...

Fernando.
