My pictures with it are all very sharp, even when using the heavy 105-280 and R8 motor combo. I Just today a new 1349 arrived from a LUG member in Malaysia. I upgraded to the 1349 for my heavier lenses and it goes a little higher. I am six feet tall and the 1228 has to be opened up all the way for my height. The 1349 is a bit taller and will handle my 400 2.8 without a problem.
