thx ! What is the tolerance of yours  as the "chinese ones" are not really tight enough when attaching the 50-200mm and shooting at 200mm max focal length (maybe that is a good test for yours)

Did you use a tripod for those ?

No, I didn't use tripod for the shots.

I purchased some cocobolo wood. Also, I am planning to buy some ebony, too.

I will make the tube out of them for test.

Nice!  Just to warn you, if you haven't worked with cocobolo before, it is very hard wood, the dust can be irritating too (same with ebony) so maybe wear a face mask.
