I have a whole drawer full of old RRS, Kirk, and Wimberley long lens plates so I can accommodate pretty well any long lens that comes along.
So do I but they are all 1/4" and I will never use a lens plate on $13,000 lenses and $3,500 to $4,500 cameras to a screw-in lens plate. I do not like them and I do not trust them. I have had way too many loosen up with much lighter weight shorter lenses.
When you are walking around the Zoo or birding for hours on end with a monopod or right shoulder a long heavy rig like a 400 or 600GM have way too much torque to trust a lens plate with a screw holding it to the Sony lens foot. With my tripod I use a Wimberley Gimbal and nothing is more secure than a bolted (4 bolts) on dovetail lens foot.
