I'm looking to get a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS and the gear needed to use it. I need some advise on the details.
1. Gitzo 3540, 3540LS, 3530 or 3530S? Center column a bad idea even if its not extented? 4 sections OK?
2. RRS BH-55, lever release clamp OK with a 500mm?
3. Wimberley Sidekick necessary or will the BH-55 alone be sufficient?
Thanks!
Michael
