Two questions - 1) can you use this with a Canon 400mm 4.0 do and 2) does it need an adaptor for a canon 5d mark ii going on to an arca swiss ballhead

I use it with a Sigma 150-500 if you want to look up the different sizes of the lens. I would think so, that it would work. As far as the adapter, there is a piece of rubber that attaches to bottom of your camera and you attach your tripod piece to this, just like your own camera. So you will have tripod mount and the piece that attaches to vest on bottom of camera side by side. I love the vest.

The adaptor fits most cameras. I love it. I have a Nikon D5100, my daughter has the 700. We love ours. If it does not fit they will refund your money. Give it a try. I think you will be pleased.

No. This is Arca Swiss. If you need adapters for the Manfrotto and Arca Swiss mounts, look at Custom SLR's M-Plate.

It's a kind of filter. You can use it with any lens which has ring size = 52mm. No adapter needed. Good luck.

best if you skip this type of head and look for arca swiss compatible. If you're using the F2.8 version might look into Smith-Victor BH5. Arca compatible and can handle large loads.

It should work fine. No you do not need an adapter, the macro lens filters screw in just like any other lens filer. I've had good results with them. The set comes in different magnifications. (2x 4x 10 etc.) You have to focus manually if you use them. My lens, like yours, is a 35-70 cannon lens. I am shooting with a Rebel camera. I am a Hobbyist.

Hi Elisa, no adapter required, it comes with everything .It works great on my t4i, and there is no physical difference between the two cameras. But the camera does not matter so much, it's the lens. I'm using it with a 18-55 lens, and it works awesome. Cheers.

I'm not sure if the lens will work without an adapter sold by Opteka. I would caution you about this lens in that it is difficult to focus and get your exposures correct. Also the lens is not suitable for any subjects that are in motion as the aperture settings are slow and require long exposures. Hope this was helpful.

I use a Kirk lens plate that replaces the Nikon plate. It is Arca Swiss compatible, so it can be placed on my ball head/tripod or monopod.

The adapter is for T1i. I have a T2i Canon. It has 2 ID Threads . One is about 1.812" or about 46mm and the other is about 1.437 . I bought this adapter for mounting the camera to a Celestron 100mm scope. I don't know what the bigger ID thread is for, perhaps for a filter or other purpose.This adapter does not have a OD thread. One end is for the camera and the other for a scope.

You need an arca-swiss mount on the tripod, Manfrotto does not work with this bracket. So yes you do need to be able to dovetail the bracket into an arca-swiss type adapter.

It should work. It will fit very snug on the camera and super tight on the lens so don't expect to be able to switch the adaptor to another lens quickly. I don't like shooting with my adaptor when unknown I will have to change lenses at all quickly.

This bracket is designed to be used with an Arca Swiss style ball head which has two plates connected by a threaded screw that clamp onto this style of bracket. The additional screws seen on this bracket are "safety stops" that will prevent your camera or lens from sliding completely from the ball head when you loosen the tightening screw. They are a nice feature but can be removed if desired with a small allen wrench.

Yes, you can use a 2x adapter between the lens and body. There is a kit with it included on Amazon. You might find it difficult to stabilize the lens enough to get decent photographs, though.

I got the "silver" one because it's steel. The other may be aluminum. I don't know. My adapter was well made and fit my Canon 5D MkII and the lens, a Helios 58mm f2.0.

Hi Soozi,The adapter ring, itself, only seemed to go on with a partial twist. 1/4 to 1/2 revolution. The lens (UV) probably has about one and 7/8 revolutions. Just an estimate from my inexperienced eye. Mine seems quite solid. I have one issue though. I put the UV lens on first and the CPL over it. Now I'm having issues getting the CPL off. Any ideas out there?

Hi, No you wouldn't need any other adapter, it comes with a standard mount plate that would work fine. However, I will say this tripod is intended for video applications with the fluid head; when I used it for still photography it annoyed me as it does not have some features most photography tripods have. I found I used this only for video applications and bought a nice photography tripod for non video applications. It is a good quality tripod for the price though! Hope that helps.

Thanks, what about using the adapter for EF lenses? Would this work or does the adapter only work with original Canon lenses?
