I use my Nikkor 135 (LTM) on my M3 a lot more than my 135 Tele-Elmar because the former has a tripod thread while the latter doesn't. Not that I use *any* 135mm lens much with rangefinder cameras. As for SLR lenses...I wish the 180 f/3.4 Telyt had a built-in bracket 'cuz it's not exactly a lightweight lens. With anything longer I insist on some sort of integral tripod mount. Do tell more about this Arca-type bracket. - -Dave- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
