Joe, I know hat Bogen makes some big platform heads that have a T shaped slot milled in them allowing the camera mounting screw to slide anywhere within the T. Damn that was a long sentence. Go to your local Bogen dealer and try one of those out. By sliding the screw to the bottom of the T and orienting the film plane along the vertical axis of the T your Leica will sit squarely on the platform. I should have been a technical writer. IMHO, though, the M cameras sit pretty solid atop any tripod whose platform is at least as wide as the base is thick. ben
