Anyone make custom L-plates?

[brian steinberger]

I just got a Mamiya 645 Pro. I contacted Really Right Stuff about a custom L plate for it and they unfortunately don't make one for this model.

Does anyone make or know where I could get one made up for my camera? All I would want is an L shaped piece of metal with standard tripod threads under each side to attach attach quick release plates. I'm sure a machine shop could fab up the piece of metal, but what about threads?

Acratech makes one plate for a 645 - dont know if it is the right one for yours.

I am having the same problem finding a plate that will fit my 35mm Zeiss ZM rangefinder camera. No luck with RRS, Kirk or Acratech.

Novoflex?
The better deal would be keithwms offer though.

Maybe this one from Kirkphoto.com, BL-645AF, Dead Link Removed but it costs 3x what Keith wants.

I have been using the Arcahtech universal generic cork to plate with my Bronica ETRSi with a speed winder and motor winder with any problems. You may want to consider it.

Good luck

A pity you are not in the UK, I could make one up from off cuts from work, but the postage to Pennsylvania may make it not worth while.

I think I might take Keith up on his offer... sending him a message now. Let you know how it works out.
