[QUOTE="hark, post: 682897, member: 13196"] So today I received the B&H catalog. Visions of holidays past ran through my mind. Who else remembers the JC Penney, Montgomery Ward, and Sears holiday catalogs? For those who are a little younger, Toys R Us used to insert a huge flyer into the newspapers. There is something about having a catalog in front of you making comparisons very easy...as well as increasing desires for things we don't have. ;) The first thing I did was to look up tripods. I shouldn't have traded in my Benro carbon fiber tripod because it would have been fine to leave in the car. The other day I needed to use a slower shutter speed than I could achieve handheld so I pulled my 20 year old Velbon tripod out of the car. Let's just say it isn't quite capable of supporting the weight of my current gear. :beguiled: Had I realized I would need a tripod, I have better ones at home. For those who received the catalog, what did you search for first? If you didn't yet receive yours, what do you think you'd look for? :) Is anyone else getting anxious waiting for Black Friday? :shame: [/QUOTE]
