Gitzo 1227LVL

Postby sirhc55 on Mon Aug 01, 2005 9:50 am

Thanks to the Gitzo Guru and Mr Poon I received a rude awakening this morning which turned to delight with the arrival of my Gitzo 1227LVL from HK.

With my brain still half in bed and only partially dressed, I slapped the Markins M20 onto to this little beauty and was immediately impressed.

Thought I would share and say a very big thank you to Birddog :D

Now.... Saturday 00:01 am Gitzo 1227LVL club mini-meet? :) Chris, it would be very convenient for you because Sigma mini-meet is immediately after this one :)

Thanks a lot, Birddog! Can't wait (but I have to) to play with it! :)

Chris

Maybe Santa is in town early disguised as Mr Poon.

I know your joy, since I also got a package delivered today (sensibly at work so I didn't have to expose myself to the delivery man). Mine was 1325 legs - maybe we can make it a Gitzo club meet with our patron saint Birddog present :lol: :wink: PS My legs have no head - waiting for a BH55-Pro

Great news Peter.

Mikhail - nice purchase, you will find it a fun lens to use.

Gitzo and Sigma meets at that time of day might make me change to Tokina glass :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
