algrove Posted September 12, 2023 Share #1 Â Posted September 12, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the Burzynski tripod ring with incorporated tripod Arca-Swiss shoe, but it is too large in diameter for an APO SL lens. I am highly interested in using such a ring on my APO SL 90 and perhaps 50 lenses where I could rapidly switch between landscape and portrait orientation without resorting to using an L bracket.. I very much like how this can be accomplished using L mount tele lenses like the Panny 70-200 and the Leica 100-400. I know other lenses have this feature, but the ones mentioned here are the ones I currently own. Perhaps someone has accomplished this with an existing lens tripod I have not tried. Thanks.

jankap Posted September 12, 2023 Share #2 Â Posted September 12, 2023 I use a Canon ring for the 500mm mirror lens. What diameter you need is important. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted September 12, 2023 Share #3  Posted September 12, 2023 NovoFlex makes such a ring for the SL 24-90 and 90-280 and I wish they made one for the 16-35.  I tried to adapt the ring to the 16-35 and could not make a solution I was comfortable to use in the field, but I 3D printer could make a spacer ring easily.  I agree it would be nice to have a similar ring for the APO-s as I believe they all have the same diameter.  If you find a solution for the APO's please pass it on.  Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the inner diameter of a collar required is about 73mm. Edited September 19, 2023 by algrove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
