{Sigh!} It had to happen, I'm just surprised it lasted as long as it did,
for my massive outlay of �12 back in the mid 70s. But my tripod demised
today. One leg gave way and the LX on top fell gently sideways into my
jacket pocket!Anyway, my needs for a tripod have changed since last time I was thinking about buying one; just that now I have more motivation and more needs. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a tripod which is: . Suitable for 35mm and MF, . Can stand in mud or water (obviously cleaned afterwards!), . Available second hand, . Various extras to allow it to be used in different ways - for example in holding the camera pointing down onto a table directly below (I have lots of use for this) . Weight - low importance, durability high, . Construction - ? Recommendations please, . Price - going to be more than �12 isn't it! Malcolm
