What he is saying is that you can't put a big heavy camera onto a wimpy tripod. OTOH, the longest lens I have done extensive shooting with on the 6x7 is 135mm, and I tend to use shorter focal lengths with it. The camera is easier to hand hold than most people would think, and one is better off to hand hold it than put it on a lightweight tripod with any focal length of lens. The only time I have had a vibration spoiled exposure was off a Manfrotto 055 tripod, which in my books is pretty lightweight. I believe that was shutter induced as well, since the blurring was sideways. William Robb
