RRS Slider Plates
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2005 7:39 pm
I have two slider rails from RRS, the MPR and the MPR-II I believe they are (fozzie you can help me out to which I have )
Just a question, I've tried both with my 18-70MM lens and they both work fine, even though they suggest the MPR-II for 100MM+ lenses. I've tried the MPR-II at shortest focal length on my 18-70MM lens and I can't see the edge. Has anybody tried it with 12MM focal length?
The other question I guess is, what is the issue with using the longer rail with shorter focal lengths? Shadow visible from longer rail if lighting is from behind?
Need to know because I was considering selling the MPR to anybody on this forum, would sell for $100 (ex shipping). Price brand new is $150 + shipping + gst from RRS in the states.
Edit
It's the MPR-CL and MPR-CL II
