If you have one how do you like it? If you have an F-1, would you rather have an F-2?
Does the head have a panning base or are those little numbers there just to look pretty?
What's the max load you've put on the F-2?
Thanks!

I expect mine to arrive Friday. The F-2 on my travel tripod holds my 1D3/70-200 2.8 IS on the tripod mounting ring well; I just want to be able to toss the 28-300 and a flash on there as well (which may overtax the tripod, but oh, well).
