Yes, Ian, I suspect that the 180/2.0 and 1.4x will be unbalanced, even using
the tripod screw threads in the 180's 'handle'... so I recommend that you
box it up and send it to me. I'll carefully test it and determine just the
right setup to hold everything in balance -- this should only take a couple
of years or so. Don't bother to thank me, its really no trouble at all...
