I use those legs the most, although I still have the Feisol CT3442 Tournament legs that I bought about 2005-2006. Both are excellent. I've updated the head on the Manfrotto legs to an Arca-Swiss Monoball P0: for me, nearly the perfect head for general purpose use. > As to gear … Over the past several years of experimentation and such, I'd acquired and played with way, way, !WAY! too much gear, with the result that I now know exactly what I want to work with—and I already have 99% of that. So I'm now in the process of selling off the excess … I've sold off $4000 worth of camera gear in the past six weeks, and I'm just starting to get into the costly excess. (Another batch of Ebay stuff is going up this evening…) Aside from the miscellaneous bits and pieces that always seem to crop up, the only big items on my "wish" list are the Leica M Monochrom typ 246 (just released, my order is in; I expect to see it by Fall or Christmas) and a modern, AF lens for the Nikon F6 (haven't decided which one yet; there's no rush). … My "Polaroid SLR670m by MiNT" suffered a bit of a hiccup: the film transport/processing motor died. I sent it to MiNT in Hong Kong where they completely overhauled it under warranty, it's just returned home. That plus the fact that the latest Impossible Project B&W 2.0 film is absolutely terrific stuff has me shooting a lot of Polaroid again recently. There's just something terrifically satisfying about Polaroid instant film cameras! Dr. Land would be smiling… :-) https://flic.kr/p/rgBwDQ So in point of fact I've spent as much on film this year as I have on new or used equipment!
