It would be great to have a *clever tripod adapter for the new 80-200/4,
the 180/2,8 and 180/3,4. Or to include a tripod adapter in both the
APO-EXTENDERS.

* Clever =3D better designed than the STA1 made for the 100/2,8.

I hope to see a tripod adapter in the future 180/2,8 APO, together with
lens hood rubber armoured and a minimum focusing distance of 1,1 m. =
