Thank you Mark, for speaking for me! Not so sure about the
'HOLLOWEENIES', but the rest is right on!
I'm going away shortly for a few weeks in the direction of Duane
Birkey, and I'm taking a tripod. A somewhat modified Gitzo #0, which
goes up to eye level, and is fine for Leicas, but is pointless with
almost any SLR. The mirror on the SLR's may be damped, but the rest
of the body and lens sure wobble!
