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.

Oh you lucky... well, it aint luck I suppose, but I'm awfully jelous of you! :o:)

Great first shots with the lenses by the way, wont take you long to master them. Looking forward to seeing lot's of shots from that 300mm!

By the way... what kind of dog is that? I don't recognize it, it's beautiful though...
