Sorry to (slightly) hijack the thread. Would both 70-300s work with a Nikon teleconverter? Or would that be limited to the Nikkor lens?

Both won't work with a Nikon TC. And results would probably be rather poor anyway. Certainly not better than cropping in Photoshop.

Ah, ok. Just a (misdirected!) thought.
I am just curious: If the 105 vr is attached a TC-17E II and then mounted to the camera, then the whole set is mounted to a tripod, will there be some problem in balance? The the lens+TC will have a weight 1040g and a length 147mm.

Hijacking threads is not a very friendly thing to do. But yes, I'd think it will be rather front-heavy.

I have an Verbon Camagne 630II tripod and a ball head （QHD 51Q).[/quote]
I don't know these two from own experience, so I can't comment. You should just give it a try.

Is a 3-way head better?[/quote]
I think that's more a question of personal preferences. However, a good and stable 3-way head is certainly a lot bigger than an equivalent ball head.

I also wonder if the bayonet of the camera and the lens can suffer the torque from the lens.

I don't think so.

Thanks, Markus. I see. Then the problem is if the tripod and the head are big and strong enough to support it, not the camera.
