When I worked at a St. Louis Photo Supply Leica had a salesman promotion where you earned points you could turn in for Leica merchandise. As I recall I earned three tiltall tripods and a pair of binoculars. Stupidly I sold them all to the store for cash. I have used Tiltall tripods throughout my career however. For years I had an old chrome Marchioni tiltall (the Leica predecessor) that was all but shot (it even had one black Leica leg). A couple of years ago I found a dead perfect MINT chrome Marchioni in a pawn shop for $65. It's what I use today. Bob
