Re: Horrid hot shoes

[Peter J. Alling]

The plate on top that usually has a couple of leaf springs attached 
covers up two, (usually), screws.  You can just
remove the plate and unscrew the shoe.  No need for the grinder.

Thanks to all who shared opinions about hot shoes. I own more than 20
cameras but have never purchased a new one with or without the hot shoe
cover. Maybe I will just remove the offending item with my bench graider and
cover up the damage with epoxy putty. That can't be any worse than the old
Canon FT /55/1.2 I have that was urtterly mutilated by U.S. Customs
guardians of  "intellectual property rights".

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
