And I was just getting used to the idea of carrying a tripod to improve
my photo's!
All the time I thought that if I just used the tripod I would get
those sharp looking pics you all talk about. I knew about using MLU
for Macro and Telephoto.
Now I am worried that even a tripod is not enough.
Just look at all the things to consider!
And my OM1 and 2 vibrate like jackhammers.
Oh well, back to that oil painting effect. <[:-o

<<1.- Are wood, titanium or carbon measurably better at dampening
vibrations ? (before I pop for a Gitzo Carbon...:-)
<< 2.- Does bracing make a difference ? Does a sleeve for the center
column ? Intuitively, it seems like either helps tame
longitudinal vibes along the center column (unless one
follows instructions and never extends it...), but that's
a long way from "proof".
<< 3.- How about sheer heft ? Leg diameter ? Is it worth lugging
around all those extra pounds ?
<<4.- Does the tandem-leg (W-type), which many Masters have
relied on, make any difference ?
<< 5.- How much of an effect do the number of leg sections have ?
<<6.- Do the shapes of the legs matter ? O, U, or square ?
