Looks like a Boeing MD-11: http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/gallery/images/commercial/md11-03.html It also looks like a FedEx plane and they have MD-11s in their fleet. On 6/6/08, Walter Hamler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not a 757. The plane in the pic has 3 engines (3 contrails). The 757 h

Re: Airplane II, The Sequel

Not a 757. The plane in the pic has 3 engines (3 contrails). The 757 has 2. Lots of retrofits going on in the aviation world with those winglets. Walt On 6/6/08, Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 6/6/08, Walter Hamler, discombobulated, unleashed: > > >OK, I printed Bill's full image at 10" on

Re: Tripod Q

My most used tripod is a 3021 with Manfrotto 308 QR ProBall head. I find the leg locks easy to use, but have it equipped with "Tri-Pads" for shoulder comfort when carrying. Solid, but fairly hefty. Used it many times with the A*300 f/2.8 which it seemed to handle easily. Jack --- On Fri, 6/6/0

OK, I printed Bill's full image at 10" on a piece of paper. Assuming he was shooting with a standard 23.5 x 15.7 mm sensor, the image is 10.8X on the paper. Measuring the image size with a machinist ruler I come up with an image size on the sensor of .033 inch. Assuming the plane to be a DC-10, at

I have the previous version, the 055ProB & highly recommend it. Very stable & not too heavy. The only time it let me down was in very strong winds & the legs were literally humming. I found a more sheltered spot & carried on though. :-) The I was looking at the 055XB & 190XB they both look like g
