I can't go back and change the head, but here is a reframing of it: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/11543308935/ original: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/11526991656 > > I like LRC10100 the most. > I think that one is what Ken referred to as "the second image". > The "sixth" (10107) is just a bit too much straight, it needs > just a bit more turn of the head. I'm afraid that that isn't something I can do anything about. Today, I was prepared to go back out with bigma and monopod. Before lunch, on my way to the lab, the birds were out in force.
