Most Really Right Stuff L brackets only fit the model of camera they are made for. Canon is the one that keeps changing the cameras. I very much appreciate the close fit of the plate to the camera, which means zero chance of the bracket slipping. Generic fit brackets often need severe tightening to avoid slipping while in portrait orientation, and that has the potential of damaging the camera. I also like the custom design of other features like an opening in the bracket for the remote release, and the close fit of the bracket to the left side of the camera without the bottom leg blocking the battery door.
For finding a used RRS L bracket for the 5D "classic", at this moment I see one listed on KEH, and two listed on eBay. The prices are a bit high, all in the $60 range, but if you want one soon you many just need to go ahead and pay that much. But if you can wait a bit, and keep your eyes open on eBay, I would guess you will eventually find one at less than half that. Also, a Wanted To Buy request on FM might get you a response. I need to keep my old bracket to match my old 5D, mostly for collecting reasons, but many others dump there old gear, and often end up with a left over bracket....Show more →
Thanks Roland, appreciate the comprehensive response
