Pentax would rather commit suicide than commit to potential customers. Nikon and Canon are both producing digital SLR's and are selling them as fast as they can crank them out. > > 2.

The 028/029 leg/ head combination is very sturdy, and quite tall. It might be a bit more expensive than £100 though. A tripod is a bad place to econimize. > > 3.

The worst case is someone will get uppity, and we will have more bandwidth wasted by the objectors than the original post. It is considered better form to post the list to a web page, and inform the list about the URL. That way, anyone interested can go look, and those who aren't don't have to bother.
