I am surprised that you found an L-bracket for the K-7, K-5 etc. - it took me much searching to find one when I first got my K-5; by then neither Kirk nor RRS had their K-7 versions in stock. What I have, that does work on the K-3: Kirk PZ-134 base plate RRS BK7-L A L-bracket. The L-bracket fits, but it is not a great fit. Snug enough, but the vertical arm is offset forward to allow access to the USB port etc. As a consequence, it makes it extremely difficult to access the AF-MF switch and the AF Mode button. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
