Hey mates,
Now i reached my final decision and decided that i will go with 2 ballheads and maybe 2 L-plates.
Now for the ballheads, I decided to get Markins Q3 for my 1-series tripod and RRS ballhead for my 5-series pod, but i want to use RRS clamps and plates instead of Markins, but i saw Q3 with Markins plate or clamp, where i can get Q3 with that clamp so i can attach RRS clamp with it?
I am confusing between BH-40 or BH-55 for my 5 series tripod but i am leaning towards 55 more, i am not thinking about Arca-Swiss or Kirk even they both are great brands as well, and i am using those ballheads and accessories for gear light i mean less than or up to 300 f2.8L with any body, and another head for heavy longer glasses later.
Now for L-plates, i like to shoot landscapes very much and that i will change orientation a lot between landscape and portrait, so i feel that L-bracket is more useful and practical for me than normal plates, but the problem is: should i get more than one L-bracket plate? the most bodies i will use for landscape will be 5D, 1Ds2, and 1Ds3 later i hope, so all are with different L-plates and i can't decide really which body i will use more, but it seems i am depending more on 1-series bodies these days and when i will get 1Ds3 then my 5D will be rarely in use then, so should i think for the future or get 2 plates for now and later i get one more?
OH MY, this gonna be so endless long time to be sure on stuff, i welcome all recommendations but i hope it is not just each personal recommendations, all will have positive different recommendation which will make it more confusing to go with whom.
