I thought the Viso and Leicavit would make a useful combo, and put that on one camera, and had a wideangle lens on the another camera. I had the second camera over my shoulder and the Viso camera around my neck. In the excitement of shooting (I believe it was Can-Am car racing) I let go of the Viso and long lens and reached for the wideangle lensed camera, and immediately felt an intense pain. The wind lever of the Leicavit on the camera with the Viso had been rammed into my stomach by the weight of the camera, and the fact that the lens was pointing down. The above anecdote might be of interest to anyone who is contemplating using Tom's Rapidwinder with a 135 Elmarit. Dress sturdily! :-) * Henning J.
