After using it, you'll be hooked. Its kinda self-fulfilling like that. The benefits are exceptionally useful with a long lens, where shutter speeds need to be shorter to minimize shake, in addition to the weight and space savings when hauling a monopod is easier than the tripod. There's always going to be places where the tripod is better, but when you need to cut corners for whatever reason, the monopod surely wins out versus well, nothing. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
