Thanks, Ken, that was most helpful. I would imagine that if the CF models are well made, the aluminum alloy designs would be likewise. I checked into your tip about Adray, but the buggers only give the special 'online' price if you have it shipped, you cant pick it up at the store. I've pretty much decided to get one, and would like to take it to the UP with me at the end of the week. I first saw it at Camera Mart, so I think I should buy it from them since I'm getting it locally. Store price is about the same. I got into a small tiff with an Adray 'salesman' last month regarding his estimation of Pentax, so I don't have much trouble avoiding them at the moment.
Anyway, I appreciate your extra effort to help, and will let you know how it works out. (Have you noticed how this thread seems to have gotten hijacked today?)

A no no for me would be the lack of a flat plate base. It has a center colume whih prevents getting really low to the ground. You might think of cutting the excess off. Let me know if you get one how it works out. >I'm heading up to Seney for a few days. I hope > I return with images as good as what you have been posting here recently - > really special stuff.
