I have the 1228. 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.
