    The great tripod & head thread!

    Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed these tidbits. As it happened, one of my past lives was doing experimental research on flow dynamics. While I missed it at times, I am happier where I am, dealing with basic math in daily engineering work :D.

    The great tripod & head thread!

FLM already has a great reputation with the previous CB series and with the promises of a ground-up and improved design of the GX series, I decided to get one to try.

    Nikkor 135/1.8 S Plena

    Currently having too much fun with the Sony GM 50/1.2, but with this series, I can see myself getting a Z8. Nikon did put a lot of work into this to minimize the optical vignetting while keeping it still in line in terms of weight and size with the other brands. That's not an easy feat. Too bad...
