It's fine, and works well with various medium format and large format cameras, but I'd get the lightest one possible for M6 use. On trips I use a modified 0 series that gets up to a reasonable height. It's fine for any M camera/lens combination. If they made it in carbon fiber, I'd get it immediately. If you also use SLR's, and want one tripod to work with everything up to a 300mm, then get the 1228. - -- * Henning J.
