I have a Nikon D50 with nikon 18-55mm and 10-100mm lens and also have a Canon EOS 40D with 17-85 mm usm IS lens and a 50 mm prime lens. I have a Manfrotto tripod, which I got for my birthday, not had chance to test it properly yet but from what have seen tis great!! Will post more later on what I think of them both when my computer not mucking me about so much.
