On the topic of tripods, I have been looking at replacing my old Tiltall. I have yet to find a set of legs (other than huge hand heavy) that is more stable. I must say that mine is not worn out after 20 years but it sure looks like it has been around. I have looked at the 055 series but have not found them to be as rigid. FWIW, I use Pentax 35mm though 67 plus 6X9 field cameras. I just may buy another one.

Would it be fair to say that better quality tripods have a 3/8" screw and cheaper grade have a 1/4" mount? -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for independence." -- C.
