Me too, I find them perfectly adequate for all my current camera systems, I still have a legacy hex plate 3 way head but I've made a little adaptor which clips in the to provide an RC2 QR socket. The biggest problem with Manfrotto gear is that they really only provide generic solutions rather than camera specific customized solutions, the L brackets in particular are a problem. I find the RC2 QR very quick to use particularly in poor/no light, the dovetail systems you either like or hate. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
