I know the M-grips are supposed to have a central tripod socket, which leads me to ask- is there a tripod adapter that does this for M cameras that is generally available? Joe, for some reason, your postings all appear as blank documents with text file enclosures; not difficult to read, just a little bothersome due to the extra step involved. You might check with Really Right Stuff for a tripod QR plate. If I remember to get around to it, I'll be creating my own custom Leica M QR plate (to fit the Perfected Photo Products clamp-looks very much like the Arca Swiss system, but I dunno if the dimensions are the same) If it works well, I might consider offering others around-it sure would help to pay for the new milling machine that I've been eyeing :-) No, it won't center the tripod mounting, but it sure will make using a tripod lots nicer-no more awkwardly screwing the camera down, and possibly cross-threading the socket. - --------------------------------------------------- Specializing in interesting, quality junk.
