I understood the problem as weight, which made no sense to me. I would also presume that if you took a Sony/Leica based system, it would cut your weight considerably, because you could get away with a lighter tripod as well. By the way, the only time I was shooting landscapes on my recent trip to Ladakh, I was shooting the D800E hand held for the most part...(-: Cheers Jayanand On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Richard Man <richard at richardmanphoto.com> wrote: > Jayanand, when it comes to landscape photos where you are using a tripod, > remember that the camera is just a box to hold the sensor on one end and > the lens on the other.
