Yes, pipe foam could certainly work. I use that on other tripods as well. Thank you

Gotcha, great show pieces but a bit messy to use in practice. Thank you

I just acquired two of the older, original Marconi aluminum Tiltall tripods. Great pieces which I'm cleaning up. Question though, since these are unfinished aluminum, is there anything that can applied to the aluminum to keep one's hands from turning black?

<p>Agreed $250 isn't a lot for a stellar lens. 85mm 1.7 Rokkors are going for around $450. Excellent glass though.</p>
