I have had my series 5 3-way head for quite a long time. I think it is the earlier version of the G1570M. I did have a machinist cut the longer handle down to 4 inches or so because I was working with wide angles on 4x5 with it. That handle was always in the way. I have had no problems with using the shorter handle and my C-2 Calumet 8x10 - monster - my shortest 8x10 coverage lens a 160mm.
