Hi Pål,
Have you asked Fovi if they're able to obtain one?
With a bit of luck, they're in stock at the European HQ in Belgium.
Would reduce the wait a bit...

Subject: Pentax custom quick release plates and tripod head
It seems like Pentax have a custom fit head/quick release system for
at least the 645 system. QS-B1/QS-20. The plate has that prong that
fit into the hole near the tripod socket on the camera bodies
preventing twisting. BTW the plate also seem to fit the tripod
sockets for various Pentax K lenses with tripod sockets.
As far as I can judge from the pictures at Pentax Japan web page it
seems to fit the Velbon head type. Can anyone confirm this?
I happen to use the Velbon PH 273 head and it needs a new top plate
anyway as the lever for releasing the camera is broken. The Pentax
one seems very interesting.
Head base:

Plate at the bottom of the page
Does anyone know about this? Does Pentax Japan accept international
orders?
