The release cost $69. A competitor wanted something like $65 to ship it to him. I shipped it for $3, par avion, insured. All I had to do was walk to my little Louisville post office and fill out a little customs form, and put it inside (with my standard perk--the Leica microfiber lens cleaning cloth) and off she went.

I wanted a collar to slip into my Arca Ball Head when it has the 8x10 on it to prevent "slippage" while it's being carried. I found Kirk Enterprises makes the one I had seen in the past. Just the thing - $24.95. Well, a week after placing the order they got back to me - shipping via Fedex would be $23.40 - this is for what must be a bout a 2oz piece of plastic. (on top of which, based on past experience, Fedex will charge upwards of $20.00 to collect $2.25 in tax). When contacted, they aren't interested in shipping via USPS Air Mail So, anyone else know who makes such a gizmo - or who retails the Kirk one (otherwise, I'm happy to do without...) tim _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
