[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Kirk Enterprises *used* to make tripod mounting rings for assorted lenses. I had actually gotten as far as inquiring if they had one that would fit the 180/2.8. While they didn't have a ring specifically designed for this lens, they told me that if I sent them the lens they'd see if they had something close enough that might be reworked to fit. I decided not to pursue this. I haven't seen the rings listed on their site for a few years now. HOWEVER: Here's the interesting part. This is a message fragment from the Nikon list from yesterday: ... maligned Nikon tripod collar we have a good solution in Germany, itīs a small company (one man show), Mr. Burzynski, who lives near Berlin. He makes excellent tripod collars for newer Nikon lenses and other brands. I have one for the 80-200 AF-S and it works perfectly. Now Mr. Burzynski's unique tripod ball head has recently received a gushing endorsement from Bjorn Rorslett on his http://www.foto.no/nikon/burzynski.html page. A most intriguing device. It appears that Mr. B produces all sorts of weird and wonderful accessories. Unfortunately, he has no web site and no email address. This is what I know: Rainer Burzynski, Dorfstrasse 44A, D-17291 Lindenhagen, Germany; phone: +49-39856-3061, fax: +49-39856-3062 If there are any German-speakers who would care to take up the challenge of contacting Mr. B and passing along the information about what exactly it is that he manufactures and where it can be obtained (other than www.isar-foto.de) I'm sure there are many of us who would be most appreciative.
