Is there a rule about bodies (9)? How about Leitz ball-and-socket tripod heads (24)? <snip> DT, good luck with the Heliar. It is a great lens - at the moment I am on my second one as a friend of mine shoots jazzmusicians and rock bands and decided that my Heliar would complement his 21/2,8 to give that somewhat "spaced out" look that these guys have at 4am. - As for "hoarding stuff", I do not even want to count - my excuse is of course that I have to have many bodies to test Rapidwinders on. I think that Cosina deserves great credit for making the Heliar and the Skopar and particularly for making something that is affordable to us Leica users. Now, your ball head collection is something else! I thought I was bad at 7 of them, but 24!!! It is good to know that someone else is even more afflicted than I am! All the best, Tom A
