I like this Leofoto because it is high quality and collapses to be short. More important is the head you will use - I like small video fluid heads on monopods today but most have to be adapted to accept Arca/Swiss plates.

Yes, it is POSSIBLE to NOT use a head on a monopod - especially with a 70-200 ....but just not recommended for serious work ....

Does anyone have experience with this lens? I’m thinking about buying it. How does it perform with extenders?

I don’t really need it, I have the 300 2.8, 400 f4 DO, and 500 f4. I just think it might be a great lens for a walk thru the zoo, or for football while standing in the end zone. Yep, I collect lenses.


It is a BIG HEAVY lens - check the weight and size before you buy ! I saw somebody who had one - I thought it was a 600 f4 !
I have seen the Imatest numbers - they are not impressive - especially for the cost - if that matters. It does seem to get good reviews tho .....The size/weight make it impractical for use other than on a tripod !
I checked my 2013 edition of Canon "EF Lens Work III" - and it is not in there......8-(

Selling some DSLR gear. Took my D500 in hand and snapped a few pics. Great feeling and sound. That mirror moving up and down brings back fond memories.

Anyone else?


Yes, full frame @10 FPS sounds like a machine gun ! Still using the 1D mark IV

Sony RX10ii (fixed Carl Zeiss lens, f2.8, 24-200). V iii and iv have a 20 x zoom - for my photography, not so good, and bulkier.

I've always done this with my long lenses but I also put a small lock washer on each screw otherwise they become loose over time. Also, the length of the plate that I use depends on the camera/lens combo. That is, I want the combo to balance on my gimbal/tripod rig so that there's no movement when I let go. I get a plate long enough to be able to use it (without adjusting the plate on the lens) with and without my teleconverters. Your zoom lens will have variable balance points depending on the focal length that you use. Best wishes with your new rig!

Well said.....but generally speaking, the longer the A/S plate the better !
