But to say the G-11 will not do photography with more than 30 lbs is ridiculous.

That is true Floyd, but at what pixel scale, and with what results? I'm not saying that it isn't possible to obtain good results at over 30lbs but for the most part the "higher end" mounts are going to track at a precision that is only limited by atmospheric conditions. From the two G-11's I've owned that were both purchased new I don't think that is the case. Are there excellent specimens of the G-11 out there? Yes are there duds...well I know of at least a few. The G-11 is a great mount in it's price range and IMHO the best sub $3500 mount out there. That being said the EM-200 outclasses it in the sense of out of the box performance and smooth PE. The EM-200 will do photograpy at over 30lbs as well but it will suffer at a given point even though they are nearly the same physically...size wise. Just my 2 cents no need for change
