body to keep it from collapsing--sounds like a good idea to me.

Jim. I may just keep it extended 90% of the
time. I rarely try to cram a camera that big into my trouser pocket anyway.
I hope to have something to show this weekend.

Jeffery,
Congratulations on the acquisition of the Summitar. I'm sure that you will
enjoy it. One word of caution. There is a small groove in the barrel that
keeps the lens from rotating when it is unlocked. I have seen a few lenses
where the lens has been twisted too hard while unlocked, and the pawl that
rides the groove has marked the barrel. Treat it with respect.
