Tripod head? was(Re: Tamron 300/2.8 SP LD IF Ex+, $1000)

[Paul Eriksson]

My wife approved the purchase, so now it's mine.  I have to admit that it 
was a 100% impulse buy, I never considered a 300 2.8 since I wrongly assumed 
that in AF it would be to expensive.  Well now I have to pay the price, my 
tripod & head is totally inadequate a bogen 3001/3031 setup.  First step 
will be a new head, I looked at the Kirk BH-3 (right name?) and it looks 
promising but I'm sure there are other options.  Anyone feel like making a 
suggestion?  The leg set will have to wait a couple of months thou.

thanks
Paul

I got one, with Pentax KAF mount, which is uncommom.

I like it.  Very good bang for the bucks.

The deal with having built-in KAF mount instead of the manual lens with
the Adaptall KA mount is in the sturdiness of the whole thing. Apparently,
on the long lens, the Adaptall module becomes a real weak point.
If it's in good to great shape, I would go for it.

Just my opinion.
