I was simply refering to the fact that when i as researching on what medium format to get i found several people complaining that the shutter slap on the pentax was horrible and "can" ruin anything slower than 1/60, I mentioned it a month ago and was assured that a heavy tripod would do the trick. Photo.net had several people caying what didn't work, the 3021 was mentioned as not sturdy enough by a few of them. But few people mentioned what to get, the ones i did see mentioned seemed to be leaning towards being overkill, ie... gitzos 1548(i believe thats the right model).
