Since I bought the Magfibre tripod, I find even with the 501 head I have no difficulty carrying it around and as you know the 501 has a very convenient handle that rests over the shoulder for easy lugging

Brian,
Quite understand that. I would be a good test of a VR system also.
501 is super job for this lens range as you have discovered.
When you get an opportunity it would be interesting if you could post a 3/4 view of the lens mount so I can get some idea of the foot width and position of the fixing point. I have yet to find a decent sized pic of this on the net and I am 50+ miles from anyone that stocks it.
