Toe-MAY-toe, toe-MAH-toe. YMMV, results not typical, and other such caveats...

Just about every pump made to be carried on a bicycle has a cam lock fitting. Lenzyne doesn't but they seem to be the exception. All of the pumps that I've seen also have a head that can be changed from Schrader to Presta and back.
