  1. Hello,

    Light and sturdy; seems more sturdy in joins than my 055 (Bogen3021?), but more short. I use it with ArcaSwiss B1 and this combo a little top heavy.

     

    One hic - it's equipped with a 1/4 stub for the head, and not 3/8

     

    Probably it's too light for you combo (I use it with Elan7/rolleiflex) - you will need to attach a bag to the hook. So far I've not had any problems with it in the field.

    I've bought this model for long trips : it was with me at 7 days hike this summer and I'm going to take it for 3 weeks trek in Nepal this fall.

  2. I have the ArcaSwiss (early model, have not had any lock-up); it's lighter than Kirk BH1 and the tension control is really wonderful. I really appreciate it especially with L-bracket. Even though ArcaTech is lighter than ArcaSwiss I'm not sure whether it has any tension control at all.
  3. Hello,

     

    Can I use the 120 film with 12/24 switch set to 24 instead of 12? I

    want to do it because in my rollei it often slides down from "12"

    to "24" position. it's not a big problem by itself, but it sets the

    frame counter to zero, and after that I don't know exactly how many

    frames left.

     

    Any issues with frame spacing or something like that?

     

    I have a rolleiflex 3,5F, model 4

     

    Thanks !

  4. I have this one and it's the lightes among 3021s if you throw away the central post and replace it with a little gadget which is normally connected at the bottom of it; about 2kg instead of 2kg3; it's only 500g more than the gitzo 1227 carbon.

     

    At the beginning I found it a little bit short for me with the camera was flipped for verticlas (I'm 1m80 and I don't like to bend), so I've bought a L-bracket - now it's ideal;

  5. "Why is it no use for picture taking? I thought it was just a strap to hold one's hand to the grip?"

    ==

    May be it just me, but :

     

    Vertically i use the release button of the bat. pack => no use;

     

    Horizontally the tips of my fingers can't reach WELL release button either...

     

    Voila; But anyway I've found it very useful to carry the camera around

  6. Hello,

    How should I change the developement time for new Kodak TMAX films

    with ILFORD developers?

     

    For example, for old TMAX 100 the dev. time was 7min 30sec with

    Ilford LC29 and 9min with D-76; for new TMAX 100 with D-76 the time

    is 7min 30sec; so I suppose that with ILFORD LC29 it should be about

    7min .

     

    Am I right?

     

    Thank you

  7. After locking the AF with exposure lock button (*) I can lock the

    exposure with shutter release button (with CF4 is set to 1). But the

    exposure will be locked on which AF sensor? the central one? Does CF

    8 and / or the metering mode set change something?

    <br>

    If i want to re-lock the exposure after half-pressing the sutter

    release, how can i do it without waiting 6 sec?

    <br>

    Thank you

  8. If you don't care about advanced flash capabilities (I don') EOS 5/A2/A2e is the best value probably (with the properly fixed command dial of course); by the way, i was imprssed with new EOS 300v (new Rebel) it has a really BRIGHT viewfinder, compare to EOS 300/REBEL 200 + it's very light, so if you want a light camera....
  9. The price info was published in French magazine "Chasseur d'Images", rather reliable source of information (their site is bad, though)

    <br>

    http://www.photim.com/Arrive/Sommaire.asp, (naturally, it is in French)

    <br>

    Personally, i guess i will go for Benq ScanWit2740S(ex-Acer, Umax in UK); it's rather similiar to Dual II + SCSI + dust remouval(ICE)

    <br>

    Any opinions ?

     

    Thanks
