So where do I put the > finder Thanks John (and Lucien), I didn't know that Pentax's pins were in the same relative places. Interesting. I'll think about this as a solution. At first glance, though, that's a lot of cables and adaptors when all Quantum could have done is put a plain shoe on the top of their adaptor (which in fairness was designed for the R8, not a rangefinder.) Lets see, with my T2 I'd have a cable going to an adaptor attached to an adaptor which would be attached to a cable attached to an adaptor which would be attached to my camera. Plus of course there's the other cable going to the battery around my waist. I usually feel a bit like a fly caught in a spider web with my present setup, but this might be too much. By the way, Quantum mentioned in their post that the QF23 adaptor may be discounted from the $213 list price. I paid $152.95 for mine from B&H. Simon Stevens
