apologize if this was asked before, but where can i find
information about maximum allowed lens weight for my camera?
I'm asking because, i have an opportunity to get old Soviet
build 80-200mm lens for my Nikon D3100 for a very attractive
price. But then it occurred to me - the lens weights 960g (more
than camera itself) and the camera has plastic body, so can it
damage my camera? Nikon website only list compatible types of
lenses, but not maximum weight. I'm pretty sure this particular
lens will be ok, but this kind of information would be very
useful when considering purchasing heavy lens.  While i'm asking
about Nikon, i think the question will be relevant for any
camera brand.  share|improve this question What exactly is that
lens? Sounds interesting! –  gerikson Jan 17 '11 at 12:51 This
