Advertisement Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Hi LUF Admin, Take a look here Novoflex Tripod Collar for Leica SL lenses. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
scott kirkpatrick Posted June 2, 2016 Share #2 Â Posted June 2, 2016 Very nice and sensible looking. Â Does anyone know the diameter that it clamps (to see if it could also be used with some of the R telephotos that lack their own clamps)?

Ivar B Posted June 2, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted June 2, 2016 Very nice - I will order one. Â It seems that the mount is flexible and I am certain that Novoflex has taken future lenses into consideration as well and it would be strange if R lenses or 3rd party lenses should not fit.

ramarren Posted June 2, 2016 Share #4  Posted June 2, 2016 That's a nice piece ... I had one of the Novoflex ASTAT-NEX supports when I had Novoflex adapters for the Sony A7. This looks like a good fit for the SL24-90, which is a touch large to hang off the camera's mounting flange and threaded tripod mounting IMO. I wouldn't consider it a replacement for the supplied tripod mount on the 90-280, however, and the diameter is way too big for any of my R lenses—all of the larger, heavier ones I'd want one for have their own built-in tripod mounts anyway.  One thing I found with the previous ASTAT-NEX I had was that the Arca-Swiss plate incorporated into it was just a hair too thin to be gripped properly by the RRS or A-S lever-lock tripod clamps. I had to fit a thin shim under it before putting it into the tripod clamp for it to be securely locked in place. Knob-style A-S clamps don't have this problem, all the ones I've tried had enough adjustment to accommodate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Lowe Posted June 2, 2016 Share #5 Â Posted June 2, 2016 That looks very rugged and it's something the 24-90 really needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicaiste Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6 Â Posted June 2, 2016 I don't know about the big blue screw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuckley Posted June 3, 2016 Share #7 Â Posted June 3, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) For those with knowledge of the dimensions of the Vario-Elmar R 80-200, do you this tripod collar fits? (Mine is in another state, and so I can't check the dimensions quickly to see.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
