    Mine has the brass leveling pointer on the rear-most section.

    Had to make a lens cap for the Leisgang so I had some old NZ Kauri, 100 year old leather from a piano stool cover and the left over English felt form the camera stand so a bit of chopping, shaping, a bit of glue tiny bit of swearing and hey presto.... 1 lens cap.

    We still say that too, so Merry Christmas to you (and anyone else who is reading this thread). In Scotland we usually add "and a Guid New Year". We used to say "Lang may yer lum reek" - may your chimney smoke for many years - but we're all in Smokeless Zones now!
