Herb, For those not "in the know" what are the advantages of the Arca-Swiss QR system over the Manfrotto snap in system? Also have you used the "L" brackets? I used to use the Manfrotto 340 Elbow bracket when I had a P67 but it's not suitable (and too heavy) to use with my Mamiya 7 gear. The Kirk plate looks interesting but it appears that it will obscure the film spool release like the 340 bracket :-( Also do you know if there is an Arca-Swiss QR compatible ball head that's around the same size as the Manfrotto 308RC?
