I am off to look for an adapter tomorrow. Bogens quick release comes in both thread sizes. I have the 3/8 one on the base of my Hasselblad, then I also have the standard one which I use on the tripod for most of my day to day shooting which is done with the Leica's. No compromise in rigidity and makes for a quick change of cameras. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
