Drew: no head. tripod heads are for slackers who don't care about sharpness.
Bernice: optical bench goniometer. Other heads are for slackers who don't care about precision.
Bernice: If you do feel like slacking, then a Sinar pan/tilt.
Bob: a three-way leveling head from linhof or Berlebach. Genau!
Any F64 traditionalist: Get a Ries head...or we'll confiscate your spot meter.
Anyone who likes strength, light weight, and quick adjustment: Get a good ball head. Learn how to use it.
Someone who has too much money: Arca Swiss cube. It goes with my watch!
