Hey Steve - Yes, but not the one that I use at home in NYC.  I bought one of these carbon fiber travel tripods:

Sirui T-025x Carbon Fiber Tripod with C-10 Ball Head

it is under 2 pounds, has a max weight of 12.8 pounds, folds to 11.8"

 

Pretty nifty

 

And it fit nicely (along with the SWC, film backs, film and other sundry accessories) in this camera bag that I have...

I was a little unsure of the success that I would have with the long exposure, which in some case on the bustling Tower Bridge exceeded 2 minutes.  But I think it worked out quite well..

I have one of these Sirui's, too. Adam. They're good little units for traveling when not wanting to take something sturdier, and great value for money.

And one of many I took at an Antarctic Education course.

Cool (literally), Gary. I take it you were flying (HNZ?). I used to work with a small company that did all of the scientific drilling down in Antarctica. Unfortunately I was always overseas on other jpbs each time the drilling season kicked off. Most of their work was coring the seabed from the sea-ice in Ross Shelf. They had to strike the fragile window between the sea-ice being strong enough to support the Rig, and the Winter kicking in.

 

I've still got an old (1912) pemmican tin and a sardine tin which were found when Scott's food dump carved off a glacier that had made it's way down to the coast. The pemmican tin still has the paper label on it.

Hi Marc,

 

I have a Makina 67. The younger 670 has a hot shoe and a different design of the housing, but the same, very good Nikon 2,8/80.

The lens is superb. The Scissor- folding mechanism maybe a problem, as the wires from the light meter may be damaged

over the time from folding action.

If you get one working properly (light meter, rangefinder, lightseals), you have the smallest 6x7 camera with a superb lens and a good rangefinder.

The cameras are quite heavy due to the solid construction in relation to their size.

Not the best website, but they are servicing the makinas, so enough informaton for you ;-)

Thanks Klaus....I did read about the issues with wires, and light leaks in the bellows if not cared for properly.  I'm thinking of using it for environmental portraits; city and landscapes, buildings and a general all round grab and go travel MF tool.   The W67 at 55mm/4.5 is about a 27mm in 35mm format.  Would you consider the W67 to be a slightly more versatile tool.  I'm thinking that I'd rather have the wider angle than the extra stop of speed.  What typically is your main subject when shooting your Makina 67?

Honestly I do not shoot the Makina very often, as 6x6 is my favourite Medium- Format. I f you want to shot more landscape and architecture, I'd go for the W76. For general purposes as shooting portraits I would choose the 80mm. But that is a very personal decision, depending on your taste.

An extra Stop of Speed is not that important for a wide angle lens, in my opinion.
