Only the plate for the Pentax 67 is awesomer . : ) Not the generic small square. The M plate is nearly the length of the base plate and has tripod hole in middle (if that matters). You can center it easily in the QR. My only complaint is that it sticks out a bit and seems overbuilt. As someone suggested. building one into a base plate would be ideal or into the Rapid winder. Unfortunately, the QR requires a plate a little wider than the M base. The M RRS plate is about $70. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
