Rodger: I paid $120 Canadian including taxes for my
new Manfrotto 190QC about four months ago from a
camera store, and another $40 Canadian for the
heavy-duty Manfrotto ballhead on eBay shortly after.
It was truly money well spent. Not real cheap, but not
bad. For another $5, I bought a dog leash that works
remarkable well as an over-the-shoulder sling.
