The resolution may be the same but the size of the pixels of the FX sensor will be larger. That I believe accounts of the increased light sensitivity of the FX format.

FX has greater sensitivity in low light situations. My
reason for switching from the DX format.

I have found that, taking the camera and equipment to the store, and try the tripod out. You see and fee the setting up the height and stability and your confort zone.


Excellent idea!

RRS makes a point of focal length and magnification, not load capacity, as the criteria for tripod selection. If you buy a tripod using load capacity, you could easily buy something that is inadequate. Case in point, they rate their smallest lightest tripod, their TQC-14 that supports a 25lb load, adequate for UP TO a 300mm lens (equivalent on 35mm or full frame). This would be inadequate for a 400mm lens on a cropped camera. But though the tripod would "safely" support the camera and lens, it won't be stable enough to dampen vibration.

It's a very simple concept, but few seem to understand what makes a tripod stable enough, and how top tube diameter is the best predictor of performance, and how focal length, and not camera&lens weight is what you should be using for tripod selection.

Otherwise, yes, I cannot think of a better tripod and head system. I just wish I could justify the cost.

Thanks for the clarification:-). Think I'm still reeling from the $ of my last purchase:-) A need for a monopod has arisen, and that's the first place I checked. Gulp! Think I look around at B & H, though it's nice to window shop at RRS!

If you enjoy the colorfull and funky, Jerome and Paulo Solari's digs may be of interest.

Really Right Stuff has a nice line of carbon fibre tripods. Each is clearly designated by load capacity. That said, they are not cheap. Thankfully my husband has never checked out their website:-) Then there's the ball head: quick release or standard plate. And not to forget, the L bracket that fits your model camera if the quick release is your choice. Gulp, it really adds up:-)

I'm a fan of Alien Skin's "Blow-Up". Nice results up or down sizing.

If a cleaning cycle or two doesn't fix the clog, take it to an authorized Epson repair shop. Seriously, it's such a nice printer. I wouldn't risk voiding the warranty or destroying the print head. My 3880 often sits idle for months. Yet cleans itself up in one or two cleaning cycles. You may also want to check the expiration date of your ink cartridges. Old ink can be a clogging issue.

You may consider renting the Tamaron and see if it suits. Same for the Nikon.You'll drive yourself nuts reading reading reviews:-)

You may consider looking for a filter that has a brass as opposed to an aluminum ring mount. The brass mounts are less likely to cross thread and jam (not a happy situation). B+ W makes a 95mm haze filter (B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter) that might suit.
