Subject: Fw: [Leica] Apo-Elmarit-R 180/2.8 - Tripod Ring/Mount

According to the "Handbook of the Leica System 1999/2000", there is no
tripod ring mount accessory.  Evidently, as it is only 0.75kg, Leica didn't
feel it was necessary.  The 2.5 kg Apo-Summicron-R 180mm f/2, according to
Jonathan Eastland in his Leica R8 Manual (Hove, 1997 1st edition), is
equipped with a"rotating, lockable tripod/monopod collar".
