RE: [OM] Tripod collars on lenses

[Dr Peter Gilbert]

Hi John

I have tried your suggestion, and was wondering whether this was why 
I had slippage problems.
I actually put the rect QR plates onto the camera or winder base 
running lengthwise rather than perpendicular to the axis as indicated 
by the manufacturer and that seems to help with clearance a little. I 
do this with some of the lens collar QR as well - otherwise they just 
wouldn't work, but clearance is still tight.
With this arrangement I end up with the QR lever poking out the back 
of the camera, rather than underneath it and to the side.  The Tokina 
80-200 F2.8 is another I have probs with.
