November). I plan to use it with the Pentax 645n and lenses up to 400mm with my 35mm gear. I really want a head with bubble level that makes me able to level the horizon precisely. The 029 seems pretty good to me. A problem with the 229 is that it freeze up in the cold; it get very hard to operate in below freezing temperatures.
