When the light goes down or when I want extreme depth of field in a low light situation or when I'm usind a long lens in dim conditions I find a tripod quite useful -- even with my little 35mm equipment. I really can't justify switching to a larger format just because I'm using a tripod. I use a (Marchioni) Tiltall and the Leitz tabletop tripod and ballhead. They've served me well.
