(snip) The only exception I've made was for a tripod, and I had to bless the tripod before mounting the M upon it. SonC advises: You could find one of the "Leica branded" tiltall tripods, or better yet, take the Leica ball head designed for the tabletop tripod and use it on most tripods, thus keeping the camera baseplate pure of outside influences. Of course there's always the option of a beanbag; fill a large zip-lock with black beans and one red bean to simulate the logo. Of course, if your Leica is silver, it won't match very well. The advantage to this move is you always have a possible meal with you. :>D Regards, SonC http://www.SonC.com
