[Leica] Looking For M (240) Plate

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Bob,

I use the Wimberly P5 camera plate on my Nikons, but on my M, I use the P10, 
and also have used the P20 lens plates.  All are $52.  the RRS you 
referenced is a universal L plate, which if you switch from Horiz. to Vert. 
a lot is preferred, but if you are primarily a Horiz shooter I think the 
lens plates are a better deal.  Wimberly makes really nice stuff, I use 
their Gimbal mount on my Nikon D4 with the 400/2.8 lens for wildlife & Eagle 
shooting.  they are real nice to work with.  RRS is also a great bunch, but 
they build products in batches, and sometimes you have to wait for them to 
get to the item you want to buy.  Good Luck with your search.

Gene

Gene, I'm not really looking for an L plate but the one referenced above in
the thread described by John McMaster (
http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/Shop/Multi-Camera-L-Plate-for-some-Cameras/MC-L-Multi-Camera-L-Plate.html)
looks like it might work.

Can you tell me the part number(s) of the RRS or Wimberley  plate(s) you
use on your M240?

Thanks,

--Bob
