I'll refrain from making burro jokes out of deference to your wife, my wife
and all wives but I'm tired of packing my 3221 more than a couple of hundred
yards from the car. Last Wednesday I carried it for four hours and I'm
getting too old for this abuse to the bod. I'm looking at the Velbon CF,
which is $499 with magnesium head at a local store. Does anyone out there
use a CF (whether Gitzo or elsewise)?
