i like taking pictures and believe the more i take them the better chance i will get a few good ones. got my new macro lens today and couldn't wait to try it outdoor. the lens is heavy and big but simply amazing. this is my first true macro lens. it will open up so many new and creative ways to take pictures.
now i need a new tripod to go with the heavy lens. the conversation is going to be like this:
"i need a new tripod"
"you already got two tripods. why do you need another one?"
"but i need a better one"
"well, remember the <fill in the blank here> that you bought last year with all the 'great' features that you never used?"
"but this time ..."
i usually end up putting it on my christmas wish list. december is around the corner, right?
[update - mar. 2, 2008]
christmas came early this year. my new tripod came late last week. it was a manfrotto. so far so good.
:) I have similar discussions
You need a tripod mounting collar or do you have one and still need a new tripod?

the lens came with a mounting collar. the two i had just didn't cut it.
