change that Gitzo to 3541LS...you wouldn't want an aluminum leg

and that ballhead to Markins Q20

is that what your getting?

yes

Gitzo 3541LS folds down to 22" and expands to 58"
then Markins Q20... which according to Julian is better than RRS BH-55.

if for some reason I suddenly wake up from my craziness I might go for the Feisol CT-3442 (at 17" folded). and the Q10

but from the looks of it, I prefer stability more than compactness and weight... I do travel a lot locally but I usually have a car with me

Good luck to him...his current dilemma is going to be what he will get if he sells all his glass and goes to Leica glass. He doesn't have any long, fast Ls, so he may be disappointed to find that all of his glass = an M9 and 2 or 3 lenses.

yeah exactly..with Leica lenses costing around $6k++...

Exactly...It'll be hard to feel justified going from f/1.4 L primes to f/2 Leica primes...and if he can swallow that drop, then you're still looking at:

M9 = $7k
35/2 = $3k
50/2 = $2k
90/2 = $3.7k

Essentially, most of the Leica f/2 glass = 2x the cost of Canon L primes, and he won't get near MSRP when he sells his used. But he looks to have enough glass there to pull a 3-lens setup in the f/2 lineup and maybe even jump up to the 50/1.4 for $3.7k. Elsewise, he'll have to sub in some Voigtlanders to get the most versatility for his $$$.

unless he is surely positive about it I don't think its a wise idea at all.... on the other hand, I think Jake can pull it off if he could become somebody like this

After reading some of the posts by the future-Leica-owner, I think you guys are right. He's just a collector. I think it was funny that he was greatly offended by people critiquing his shot of his gear.
