Bob,
I dont the Televue, but a rather heavy machined block 2" diagonal that was
given to me. It weighs a bit more than the Televue, and I use it with the 16mm,
9mm and 7mm (little guy"!) Naglers on my 10" LX200. I dont have the larger
Naglers or Panoptics, so I cant comment on using them, but Ive had no problems
that I am aware of using any of these in combination. At the same time I have a
35mm Pentax manual camera mounted piggyback without serious effect. You do
realize that you can rebalance your LX200 with counterweights? In fact, its
recommended and fairly easy to do....
Dont let the weight hold you back....after all the LX200 is no pipsqueak!
