Lugnuts:

Just got in mail before trip a Really Right Stuff quick release plate
for the M.  And it is some of the few things I own that matches the
quality of the M.

It is slightly larger than the bottom plate, is about 2/3 length of the
body and includes a center tripod hole.  And it slides onto the quick
release clamp on my Foba mini ball mounted on the Gitzo mountaineer
carbon fiber.  A perfect, solid, lightweight travel set.  

The bottom plate of the Leica fits into the channel on the RRS plate. 
The fit and finish is excellent.   If I had a complaint, it is that the
plate could probably be slightly less hefty and still be plenty strong
for holding such a light body and lens.
