Well, used the 3221/3030 today, first time since I've bought it, to give
the 135mm lens mentioned yesterday a workout. What a luxury after using
the little Samsonite travel sized tripod! Anyhow, something I sorely
wished for was a detent or clickstop of some sort when swapping from
portrait to landscape format, and another one when horizontal level is
reached (on the tilt, relative to the head position). Yea, the land/port
tilt is marked off in even intervals between 0-90 (actually bit beyond
90 and before 0) degrees, but it would be SO much nicer to AT LEAST have
positive detents at 0 and 90, and one for vertical level. Doesn't have to
be precisely done for critical work (that's where the levels come in :)),
just within a degree or so for casual shooting. With the Exa, peering down
into the finder, it's not exactly easy to orient oneself...everything is
reversed!
So, curious, any heads out there have this "feature"?

a sweat.
