It will if the microswitch is engaged, but also we don't know how far along on the shoot he was. "I was checking the focus of my 50 f1.4ASPH, and had the camera tilted forward and it suddenly came off the tripod." I read the entire thread on the other forum. The owner's tone seems strangely resigned. Also, Leica reports to Sean Reid that this is the first such failure they have on record, and they were unable to replicate the failure. I'm still wondering if the Arca mount might have had something to do with this. Also curious is that there seems to be no damage to the rest of the camera or the lens. I guess he had his hand on the camera at the time. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
