Your comments are a rather broad generalization ... if one shoots static subjects a tripod may offer some advantage, but then as long as the tripod is being used, a larger format may be ideal. There are those of us who use the LX as a tool to document life around us. That sort of shooting requires flexibility, small size, and easy, quick handling. The whole point of using a 35mm camera is its small size and quick handling. To walk about with an LX or a Leica, or a similar camera, and make photos of the world as it unfolds before you, precludes the use of tripods. A tripod can often defeat the purpose of using a 35mm camera. -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > in my opinion there are two key pieces of equipment that make all > the difference in the world between good and great pictures no matter what > camera you are using. > Number one (ahead of everything else by a mile) is a tripod with cable > release [...] If we're going to invest in a top camera and top lenses we > should use a tripod to bring out the best in our equipment.
