A number of years ago, after the PZ1P came out I worked with Kirk to develop a QR plate for that camera. I was told it was just a slightly modified version of an existing plate, (probably the PZ1). They wanted my PZ1P to use as a model, I wouldn't let them have it so I wound up doing some measuring for them and some trial and error, paid for some shipping of the plate back to them and got a PZ1P for the price of other plates they were selling. They showed no interest in producing a customized "L" bracket for any 35mm Pentax body. Maybe if enough PDML'ers were interested in an "L" bracket for a specific body they would produce one. There is a lot more unique work in a customized "L" bracket.
