    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.

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...
