Sorry about the quality, I was just messing around with these on
a very dull day whilst waiting for some friends.
Lighting column in the way......

40% owned by Toshiba.
Used exclusively by the US Navy up to discontinuation.
They made some great lenses. The Re.Auto-Topcor 58mm f/1.4 went on
to become the Voigtlander Ultron.
"Mr. Kobayashi likes his Topcon Super D of 1963 enough to style Voigtlander's new silver Bessaflex after it, even producing a Topcon style 58/1.4 complete with the Topcon engraving."
See about halfway down page.....

You can quite clearly see the different perspective between 10mm and 17mm in the Anthony Ryans shop and the bookshop interior (last shot).

Comment by Algernon posted on What Tripod plate do you use? at 14/02/2014 - 17:40
I did see somewhere that Giottos plates are slightly wider than the standard Arca and have trouble fitting into other clamps.
EDIT: Found it ...... Quote ......
"However, as you have learned, not all Arca clamps/plates are the same, even though they follow the same basic standard. The first I tried was from Giottos, but I quickly found that these didn't work for most other Arca pattern plates! They work ok for their own brand of plates which have a different safety stop mechanism to most others, but when I bought 2 Wimberley plates (which use tiny grub screws at each end to stop your gear inadvertently falling out of the clamp should you forget to tighten them up) I discovered that I couldn't slide them in from the end of the clamp, because of these very studs! To make matters worse, the Giottos clamps don't open wide enough to drop the plate in from the top. Useless! "

A (cardboard) Kodachrome slide is 23mm x 34mm
So 24x36 is non-existant anyway.

There's also a good video about safety stops on the compatibility page.
