I don't agree about the "winding gear" on the headstand. It's what gets the miners down into the mine and it's what pulls the ore and the miners back up. Wouldn't look right without it? But it would have been nice to eliminate the fence. No way to do it. I even tried putting the tripod outside the fence, but that didn't work either. The pathway makes a sharp turn at that point and the areas outside the path are piled high with tailings. It was all I could do to get a position that would give me both the headstand and the plant.
And, yes, Dave. The results are a lot like what I used to get with my 4 x 5. Occasionally I'd set up at an art fair and people wold come by and say: "Them's real clear pictures."
