I'm using a modified Leica STA-1 a.k.a. 14636 which is not entirely satisfactory. The problems I'm having with it are the clearance between the collar and the aperture ring, and unless I do things exactly right, the clearance between the collar and the DMR. It needs to be modified to fit the Vario (or, the Vario's red bump removed) by trimming one of the inner ribs to clear the red bump. As I understand it, the Burzynski collar is a better product. Go to isarfoto.com and search for 'burzynski leica' and it should pop right up. The Burzynski also seems to have a built-in ARCA-compatible foot.
