Thanks for sharing. I'm always on the lookout for a good L-bracket. I have the Fittest brand--perhaps what you first tried--and it works, but doesn't fit well. I think I read somewhere that the Fittest is 128 grams and the PEIPRO is 71 grams. I wouldn't mind a slimmer, lighter bracket

I have to agree with the OP. I've been using LR forever and finally grew frustrated with the terrible rendering of RAF files. I was delighted when Iridient X Transformer came out and I can see a definite improvement. It wasn't until I decided to try a demo of C1 and On1 that I discovered what I was missing out on. I've only edited a half dozen images ranging from low to high ISO and most with detailed elements like foliage. C1 was night and day better, no question about it. The interface is a little intimidating, but I found myself flying through it making adjustments in quick order. On1 took a little more work, but was also notably better than LR. I really want LR to work, because it's what I'm familiar with and I don't want to pay for another software (or ditch LR/PS altogether). At the end of the day though, I need and want sharp images, not a mushy mess.

Just got a reply from the folks at Markins. They say they do not have an ETA for the XT2 plate at this time.

Just talked to the folks at Sunwayfoto and they plan to have theirs available late October, early November. Waiting to hear back from the Markins folks. Kirk finally has theirs in stock.
