Hi Chris,

Thanks for the data about Canon camera weights.  I have a 20DA on order, 
nearly the same weight as my old Nikon F body.  I can see that a heavy 
camera could tilt and cause astigmatism.  Having a solid mounting is just 
one of the many things that makes this hobby a challenge.

Thanks,
Don
