Further to this subject, in "Leica Lens Practice .." on page 41 there
is a picture of an STA1 Tripod Clamp designed for the 100mm f2.8
Apo-MACRO-ELMARIT-R which clamps around the lens to attach to a
tripod. Wonder if this would fit other short tele lenses which don't
have tripod fitting. Is it still available and how much?
