It was my newer one that lost the foot and those are the parts I ordered. The part you get is the complete screw-in metal plug with the rubber foot that screws into that piece. Those are the feet that are easily available on special order probably from any professional retailer. My Leitz version has never lost a foot and generally feels like it was built to tighter tolerances than the newer ones. I guess the Leitz Tiltalls were either built by the Marchoni brothers or with the same tooling in any case. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
