Manfrotta 321PRO tripod legs

Over all very pleased with the purchase, the lens are nothing short of excellent, the pictures (while sort of snap shots) are very sharp at f/8.

The tripod is a winner, kinda heavy at 5lbs but very stable. The head is a work of art also, very heavy duty and will hold my 20D with the 300 in all positons with no slipping.

I'd have to take out a 2nd mortgage to receive a shipment such as yours. Prelim tests look pretty awesome.

Were those images shot with the camera and lens on the tripod?

Great items! How heavy is the 300mm f/4? I'm thinking about that lens or another but it looks very large.

No, the 300 was on a monopod with the IS turned off.

The 300 is around 2.6lbs I belive.
