Soon Really right stuff. I got an dedicated L bracket for my D100 from Kirk. http://www.kirkphoto.com/lbrackets.html Going to get a non dedicated L bracket for my Leicas from them or I don?t know who. http://www.kirkphoto.com/lbracketso.html http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/mcl/index.html I've always had bad luck with quick release systems but this Arca Swiss stuff is the standard of the industry for good reason. It's the l brackets which are really turning my head around. Will have me doing much more 35mm tripod work with much greater ease. Putting my camera not strangely off to the side of the center of my tripod but right up the center. >From Joseph I also got Arca replacement feet for my Hasselblads. http://clearsight.fane.com/ecommerce/catalog/catalog/index.php?cPath=31&osCs id=f4a20afccdd6003a64a4899b72fc5e56 And from him an Arca plate for Tom's Rapidwinder. >From Kirk I got one for my current Leica Motor M. All an interface between my Leicas and other cameras and mainly my Ries tripods and heads http://www.riestripod.com/tripod.htm Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon New-improved http://rabinergroup.com/
