The 180/2.8, when mounted on a teleconverter, makes a rather long and heavy lens - I would hesitate to put the camera on a tripod, I'm not certain the lens-teleconverter or teleconverter-camera junction would not break.

Is there a solution to this problem? The 180/2.8 has no tripod ring. Are there tripod rings that could be mounted on it? In addition I don't see much space on the lens where such a ring could fit...

Bogen/Manfrotto makes a telephoto cradle device for the top of your tripod and works fine for long lenses without ring mounts.
