Hi Rayburn,
The Agnos MrotatorA is a good dedicated FC8 lens head, the only
drawback is that you'll not be able to use any other lens with that
bracket, therefore in my own opinion I will recomend that you get a
universal bracket which will allow you to use a number of lens
combinations.
The FC-8 has the nodal point on the rim of the lens where the
lettering is, knowing that it should be very easy to set the nodal
point on any bracket you choose.
What you have to be careful about is that because of the width of
the FC8, when you are positioning the camera and lens over the
turning point, it does not interfere with the upward arm of the
bracket, as this sets the camera mounting screw point far back along
the horizontal arm. Check the manufactures literature in the case of
the NN http://www.nodalninja.com/camera_list.html you can use the T
adaptor which will clear the FC-E8 from scraping the vertical arm.
I myself use the Nodal Ninja and I very happy with it.
kind regards,
Rodrigo
