I guess I could fashion a plate (or have one made) similar to the base plate of the Telyt but longer towards the camera end. Then drill or fashion a mounting hole near the rear of the plate for mounting a tilt tripod head and mount the camera on that. Would work, probably. Maybe DAG or RRS might be such a plate or could make one. The lens is supposed to arrive today from KEH. I'll check it out on the GH1 and see.
