A question for 645 (N/D/Z/...) owners: what tripod system have you
found is good and solid for your shooting?
Also, is a ballhead practical in use with such a heavy camera, or is
pan/tilt a better bet?
I'm planning ahead. Thanks!

For lenses up to 150mm, my same manfrotto 190 three section legs and Markins or
Arca Swiss ball head works fine with Hasselblad 500CM. Pan/tilt or geared 3D

The Feisol CT3442 Tournament legs are larger and taller when that's needed.

The sigma 10-20mm should bring $250-300 (plus shipping on eBay). If
you sell locally (Craigslist) you should be able to get a similar
