Does anyone know where to find info on how much weight the FS100 emount can (or would be safe) supporting before you want to get rod support
for a lens? I am just curious about this as I research different lens choices and can't seem to find the info anywhere. I can find
out how much a lens weighs (say 24 ounces) but I can't find out if that is too much or close to being to much on the FS 100 or at what
point you should build on lens support.
 
I think i read somewhere that you shouldn't have a lens heavier than the body unsupported. pretty much any old lens above 135 probably needs a support, any old zoom 80-200, 100-300 need support. the kit lens doesn't and alot of newer lenses are much ligher than old ones (tokina 11-16, tamron 17-50 etc)
 
Thanks, I'm looking at a few lenses......one is a 35-105 F3.5 FD lens and trying to figure out if it would need support. I couldn't find info
about what the FS 100 would support safely anywhere. By the way, how do you like the Tamron 17-50 2.8? There's a good deal going on those
right now with a rebate I see.
 
I'm using this lens, and even though I have a no-name $20 FD->NEX adapter from eBay, I see no reason to worry.
 
I have the 70-210mm FD on there with NO support and nothing has gone wrong yet *touch wood*
 
I think the weight limit is around 1000g, based off the comment that you shouldn't pick up the camera by the lens. The body weighs 1000g.
