Excellent choice. I am trying to persuade a work colleague to buy one of the last K10D's.

Enjoy your photography.

The 16-50 has a lot of fans. You might enjoy one.
I don't think I would like the weight though: 600 grams.
Since i'm a rather skinny guy maybe i should start doing some workout.
I find that you don't notice it.

I now have my Slik pistol grip. It is a brilliant piece of kit - very intuitive to use.

It is exactly the same as your model, except the yellow bits are now grey.
Grey is much better

Hope you enjoy it - I'm sure you will.
I found the Slik grip so good that I bought another one this week, so I have one on my tripod and one on my monopod.

Many thanks for your input.

You have convinced me to go ahead and order one.

They seem well priced from SRS.
You're most welcome. I'm amazed they're not more common, actually. I suppose there'll be some applications where rotating in the constant plane that you get with conventional heads is important - panoramas maybe - but for general purpose 'frame, then shoot' applications, it's so much more convenient.

I hope the build quality is as good now as it was 15-20 years ago. If it is, I'm sure you'll really like it.

Let us know how you get on with it.
Chris,

It is exactly the same as your model, except the yellow bits are now grey. It is still made in Japan

Does anyone have any experience of the Slik AF 2100 trigger style ballhead as shown on the SRS website :

Some very good points.

I do buy most things from the internet but primarily from internet suppliers who are shops, such as SRS, who have supplied all of my digital lenses.

An excellent set of images.

Nice to see that you have some species, down under, with just four legs
