A Benser base plate fits over the bottom of an M2 or M3 and provides two
bay lens mounts to hold spare lenes. It will fit an M4 or M6, but not a
securely because it is designed to hook over the flash mounting stud that
these bidies do not have. It screws into the tripod socket using a screw
driver or coin and must be removed to change films. A flange entender was
needed if it was to be used to hold a 21 Super Angulon.
