Leika "Noktolux Lens Support"   for sale.

The LNS in an ingenious device for those who suffer from the physical and
emotional strain of a heavy Noktolux lens on their small M cameras.  It is
based on a wide heavy duty web belt like those used by warehouse workers.
It has a ¾ inch hardwood dowel (the pod) attached to the front of the belt
and extends up in front of the face.  A stainless steel 360 degree swiveled
padded oar lock is attached to the top and there is a strong neck strap to
hold the LNS in place.  There is a red dot on the back of the belt and one
of the pod.  Of course these can be covered with black tape to ward off
thieves.  The pod can even be covered in materials to match your shirt so
that it will not stand out in public.  Stealth and quietness guaranteed.
The LNS serves several important functions.  First of all, the weight of the
lens pushes into the stomach thus flattening it and giving  better posture
and less strain on the lower back muscles.  Secondly, the yoke that holds
the lens, eases any pressure on the camera flange.  And finally, you can
shoot Delta 3200 at 25 and forgot about all those busy details in the
shadows.  Just a pure white image surrounded by absolutely blackness.
Another important feature is the ability to tape a minimum of eight empty
film canisters to the dowel.  This will give ample space for those extra “M”
batteries,  and other small accessories that often get lost in the camera
bag.   The functionality is unlimited.  Buy three and make your own custom
tripod or folding camp stool.   When not in use, the pod is removal to a
clip on the side of the belt.  The NLS can then be used like a policeman's
night stick to ward off those uncooperative street people.   The cost is
only 350 petro dollars, payable in small 5 gallon installments.
