Gary, Hah.. scary? I damn near had 3 heart attacks in 2 seconds..
I had thought about making a plate that goes ontop of the dovebar that has a recessed section for the foot. Its rectangular, but only has one hole, and not enough room for a second really.

Monte, adding a ring at the front isnt a bad idea, I dont know how much clearance the front has over the end of the dovetail bar, Its not much.. I dont know if a ring will fit, but i suppose if i were to add an extention under the lenses foot, to bring it up another inch off the dovetail bar, that should give it all the clearance in the world.

Robin, That - may - work, but it would need at least a 4" ring at the front, and only a 70mm/80mm ring at the rear... starts to become expensive if im buying 2 sets of rings for it...
