[Leica] A STEPS from Leicagoodies....

[alex at zabrovsky.com (Alex)]

Meanwhile as my so much anticipated M6 has stack somewhere in the deep 
depth of USPS on its way to CA, I thought I will order some nice things 
to accompany the camera from Leicagoodies before they unfortunate cease 
their operation on 31 Dec.
I already set my mind for few such as a hook with strap, sling and 
scoop, but also may consider their Steps which apparently allow some 
degree of convenience using polarizer.
I tend to use polarizer quite a bit on my landscape work with my LF and 
up until recently with my Canon SLR (which is now sold out). With my 
Leica I also intend to do some landscape (though not so committing as 
with LF) stuff and woudl anticipate needing polarizer (I have Heliopan 
cir. pol. 77mm). Reading about Steps on their site I realize it came to 
ease polarizer usage on rangefinder by means of offering a view through 
the vented-type step-up ring to 77mm filter so that the filter can be 
adjusted on the lens while observing through the step-up ring opening 
via the filter.

So, does anybody here use their steps for aforementioned purposes ? Is 
it indeed so useful as described on leicagoodies ? It costs over 100$ so 
I would prefer to get the point of it prior to forking out a cash...

Thanks, Alex
