They were made by Leitz in New Jersey. I have an old brochure from Leitz on these tripods that details the story of how they acquired them. I'll type it for the LUG when I return later this weekend. I'm off to lecture in Anaheim, California at one of the world's largest vision conferences, called Vision Expo. I've got 8 Kodak slides trays stuffed with Ektachrome slides for my lectures. All produced with PowerPoint software. Perhaps next year I'll take my IBM Thinkpad laptop computer and use video projectors for the lectures. That will end the need to carry so much stuff every time I travel. The R8 has produced some great slides along with the 60 macro and 100 apo macro lenses. I also hope to put my new 24/2.8 aspheric M lens through its paces. Like potatoe chips, you can't just stop with one Leica lens. At this rate, Leica should just give away M6 bodies and watch their lens sales grow. Have a good weekend, Richard - -------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA, USA
