It might. I got more acceptable results with the combo above using the
telephoto lens support, but it is an unwieldy combination. Ironically, I
got into winders in order not to have to re-compose all the time when
bracketing during macro work with camera and winder mounted on tripod.
When I improved my tripod, I didn't have so much trouble winding by hand
and not goofing up the framing and focus. :)
