Conclusion
Both MPU100 and MPU105 are light and handy Arca-Swiss compatible plates for camera bodies without vertical grip. With them, you can change your camera mounting orientations with ease.
Surely, for perfectionist, the L plates may not be as perfect as the plates tailored for specific cameras. But in price-wise (about USD 80, includes shipping), they are good choices. Especially if for multi-cameras owners.
