[rollei_list] Re: Wooden tripods

I use a model C Ries wood tripod for everything up to 4x5 and wouldn't think
of using anything else.  Its light, goes up fast in the field and is very
stable - very little vibration.  The Ries is from the late 40's and the
price is right (as compared to carbon fiber).  For my Rolleiflex I use a
large Slik ball head with the Rollei quick release tripod adapter.

Subject: [rollei_list] Wooden tripods

Hello Everyone,

At the recent PhotoExpo East I was intrigued by the Berlebach wood tripods. 
Do any list members use them? If so, what do you think of them, and if it 
came down to choosing between  a medium sized Berlebach wood tripod or a 
carbon fiber competitor of similar quality, size and, hopefully, price, 
which one would you pick, or doesn't it matter? The tripod will be used with

35mm and 6 x 6 cameras - SLRs, mostly.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed. Feel free to mention brand names.

Regards,
Akhil
