I already set my mind for few such as a hook with strap, sling and scoop, but also may consider their Steps which apparently allow some degree of convenience using polarizer. I tend to use polarizer quite a bit on my landscape work with my LF and up until recently with my Canon SLR (which is now sold out). With my Leica I also intend to do some landscape (though not so committing as with LF) stuff and woudl anticipate needing polarizer (I have Heliopan cir. pol. 77mm). Reading about Steps on their site I realize it came to ease polarizer usage on rangefinder by means of offering a view through the vented-type step-up ring to 77mm filter so that the filter can be adjusted on the lens while observing through the step-up ring opening via the filter. So, does anybody here use their steps for aforementioned purposes ? Is it indeed so useful as described on leicagoodies ? It costs over 100$ so I would prefer to get the point of it prior to forking out a cash... Thanks, Alex
