I have just ordered a Canon 500mm f4 IS lens. I appreciate that most users in the USA seem to use Gitzo tripods. Currently I have a Manfrotto 055CLB and a Benbo Mk1. I have two questions please:
Does anyone have any experience using these tripods and do they think they would be suitable for use with the 500mm lens?
I am also of the impression that most 500mm users also use Wimberly or Mongoose heads. I have read that the Manfotto 393/3421 is also very good and is just a fraction of the price. Does any one have any comments please.
Thank you
Jon
