Size is everything. Not just cameras. If the shoe fits, right? My point is that to simply say a certain item is absurdly heavy is a non- sequitur. Even a Sasquatch has limits. I spent 4 hours today filming in a Jacobean house, carrying a tripod that weighs 20 lbs and a camera/lens/battery combo that weighs 23 lbs. But I was getting paid for it :) If I was doing it for fun, I would not carry all that. If you're a big person with strong arms and hands like Godzilla's, a D3 or a 1D are not heavy. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
