For those of you who use the Swiss-Acra standard camera and lens plates …
Kirk had plates for the K-1 available on pre-order shortly after the K-1 was announced this spring. I put my name on their list about the same time I pre-ordered the K-1. Said plate arrived today and, as expected, fits perfectly. Kirk does good work. $55. In the interim I have repurposed an old Kirk plate that was originally on the K-10 IIRC. It took quite a bit of filing and grinding to make it fit but it was ok. Free to a good home (you pay postage) if anybody wants it. Disadvantages compared to a new custom fit are: a) visible file marks etc, b) no slot for attaching a camera strap and c) no provision for adding a safety-stop screw. But it provides a secure mounting platform for your camera. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
