[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 594924, member: 13090"] As with most things I think there is a point at which most people would agree you have reached maximum ROI (Return On Investment). Beyond this point (typically) you will start paying dearly for modest improvements in either performance, feature-set or both. But then too there are those who shoot professionally and things like tripods are, most likely, tax deductible so why NOT spend a couple grand and to hell with the Price/Performance Matrix altogether? They need absolute top-of-the-line equipment and that's ALL that matters. For most of us, though, I think it's safe to say price matters. It's my personal opinion one does not need to spend into the fourth digit to get a very, VERY good tripod and head setup. That being said, I *do* think you need spend a few hundred, or somewhere in that neighborhood generally speaking to get into equipment I always chuckle when I see someone ask, "Is it worth it?", regardless of what thing they're talking about. As if the question has some definitive answer. [/QUOTE]
