Off topic, Rand.
Her Majesty's boats (more recently than 1964) used OM4Ti, but I don't know
any details of the optical arrangements used!
Given the date of the 4Ti, I assume it was the Trident fleet.

Subject: Re: [OM] Pretty tripod
Beg to differ, on the most expensive part.
I had an 80 million dollar (1964 dollars) tripod that I used for several
years.
?? It was a nuclear fast attack submarine.?? I was the intel
photographer.???? Biggest?? problem was that it was a fixed f8 and 60 feet
long and pivoted on the wrong end (with the surface waves). When I
reported aboard they were using motor drive Nikon hand held up to the
reticle of the scope.?? When I left 4 years later, I had made a hard,
slip on mount for the camera, and the camera was a motor drive
Hasselblad (500CM ?).?? Lots better pictures due to negative size.?? But I
still had to mega push the ASA because of the rule *f8 is f8 is f8 *and
swing on the end of a 60 foot pole takes lots of ASA speed.

those who posted with great suggestions. If you take the money and thought
about what photography gear would you purchase instead... clarity may ensue.
