I Thanks, I assume that this means it is normal, I have been spoiled by the uni-loc then.

I have a uni-loc ball head, however it is not got a rotating base so I decided to replace it with the MH1312.

The Uni-Loc locks positively with out a great deal of pressure being applied to the lever. Using the locking knob on the MH1312 I can still move the ball head with it tightened by what I would consider a reasonable force. All it seems to do is increase the friction by a larger amount than the smaller friction knob. With the camera mounted on the head I can move the camera by holding the head with my fingers and using my thumb to apply pressure. I'm not using it with a heavy camera/lens combination so it is held in the same position.

Should I expect a more positive locking action on the ball from the locking knob?

That's an excellent choice PE. I would recommend that you also budget for a good sturdy tripod as it is quite heavy. This one is quite good, I think its a French make:

Pentax K10D + 18-55mm II

Approx 4,000 shutter actuations, some usage marks and recently dropped from a table which resulted in a crack to the baseplate. I haven't noticed any problems caused by this. The 18-55 was not on the camera when it was dropped and has not been used a great deal.

Boxed, charger, cd, lens cap, no manual or lens hood

In good condition, it must have had a knock sometime as ther is a small mark on the filter thread, optically no problems and a very little internal dust. Hood has a small crack and needs a dab of glue, but still functions normally.

Out of warranty, but it has not had any problems with the motor.

Boxed, with both caps and pouch. Lens cap has some marks on.

I still get buyes address for items sold on ebay, I do not have addresses for gift payments. Since gifts do not involve the transfer of goods why would you need an address?
