Wooden tripod

A wooden tripod, plus a huge metal case...there are images of such a beast around, but I wouldn't like to say where. Perhaps one of the books on Pentax.
Best regards, John

I think there is a picture in the Pentax lens catalogues, I'll see if I can dig one out.

Did the tripod have it's own separate case or are you referring the the case which held the lens.A wooden tripod, plus a huge metal case...there are images of such a beast around, but I wouldn't like to say where. Perhaps one of the books on Pentax.

I was referring to the case that held the lens. I'm not sure if the tripod fitted into that as well or whether it had its own case.

I think I remember seeing an on-line photo of the case, which didn't have room for a tripod.
I've eventually found my Pentax Collectors guide and have been trawling through it - unfortunately it's pictures are almost exclusively the cameras, and the K series 1000mm f8 is listed without any further information.

I'm sure that there's someone on this forum with a Pentax
1000mm he posted some photos a few months back from either
Australia or South Africa? They were a touch on the soft side.

Hell of a lens Greg It's a pity we can't find a picture
of the tripod and what type of head it came with. Looks like
it might have been sold separately. I've seen a few of the
lenses, but never the tripod. Wooden tripods are the best
for absorbing vibrations, but nothings going to hold that
monster in the wind
Edit: One shown here in the museum, but no tripod:

I'm still looking for a photo of the wooden tripod. I am beginning to suspect the tripod is rarer than the lenses they were designed to support!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The accessories seem to be rarer than the actual camera or lens in many cases - take the little tripod spacer bush which was apparently provided with all M series bodies to stop certain lenses from hitting tripods, it took me ages to come across one of those!

I don't remember those.

Found it! The SMC Takumar Lenses booklet available from the Pentax Manuals site has it. Looks like a total station tripod which isn't surprising given Pentax make surveying equipment too.
