Stan: I am not using ports. But the reason I asked this question is
exactly what you are describing: to see what might interfere on Pentax
bodies with this particular L-bracket.

Buy one and let us know. ;)

Thank you, Larry!
I am curious, - what makes it uncomfortable to hold?
I'd assume the L-bracket would be on the left side. So, why is it a
problem?
If I had the brains god gave a chipmunk, I'd be able to remember that
detail. If I had the brains that god gave a demented chipmunk, I would
have actually put it in my kit, like I had planned and wouldn't have to
remember. It does have to go to the left, otherwise it blocks the
battery door.
If someone wants to swing by my house and borrow mine, they could report
back. Otherwise, I expect to be home in a little over a week, unless
things go wrong, again, with Mom.

Hi All,
I came across this very inexpensive "universal L-brackets" sold on
e-bay and Amazon that are labeled as MPU-105 or MPU-100. They are in
the category of products that are made in China/Hong Kong, and sold
directly an order of magnitude cheaper than the "branded" ones.
See e.g. here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-MPU100-Quick-Release-L-Plate-Bracket-for-Camera-Benro-Arca-Swiss-NEW/380932337447
The price is very appealing.
So, I wonder if anybody has tried how these L-brackets fit on any of the
Pentax bodies?
I couldn't find my order history on it, but I'm pretty sure that the
MPU-100 is the one I bought. It works fine on a tripod, but as I said,
isn't comfortable holding the camera in my hand, so my custom-slr m-plate
is what stays on the bottom of my camera.
