I wish I had friends with hardware like that. I'm sure my wife is glad that I don't, since I'd never come home.
A studio stand like that would be a luxury for me at this point, but if business justified it I think I'd buy one. A couple years ago I tried one out with a 'blad. Determined to get one for myself, I priced a few of them. The tripod is fine for now. :) -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
