A quick call to Leica parts department will get you the answer. Better be sitting down when you make the call.

yes, I had a quote from Leica USA at one time. Cannot remember the exact number but it was $250-350 (I think the bottom plate was close to 250 and the top plate close to 350) excluding work. As always, Leica prices are a tad high...

Contact Dag and see what he can do

cheers,

I've seen top plates for sale on a certain auction site from time to time...no idea as to their provenance, and can't remember the price.

Is it under warranty? Leica NJ replaced mine for $0.

Ben, why do you want to replace the top plate?

Top plates on auctions are usually those crappy special edition jobbies such as Rooster Chicken edition and dragon edition etc etc.

these come up on ebay not infrequently (although maybe not ttl plates which i assume are different than strate 6 plates).
