I think the Ellie is about $70, although this got me looking and I saw that they’re now making a dedicated L-bracket for my OM-1, so my Ollie is arriving tomorrow and might have an Ellie to sell. Another inexpensive option is one that’s made for some of the Sony a7 models, the Smallrig 3984. You can remove the part that extends under the grip and use it without that part. Rather than have a fulltime plate on the left, the plate is hinged and sits under the camera in landscape mode and locks up against the left side when you flip to portrait. I know it’ll fit the OM-1. It might be worth looking into.

I don’t know that it’s not as well engineered. I use one on my OM-1 and it’s not as nice as a dedicated L-bracket, but it’s ok. RRS does make good stuff but it’s not always worth the price difference.
I am looking to buy an L bracket for my old Sony A99II will use this camera as my back up, but not finding a bracket anywhere so I can use it with the same ball head as my new camera
I am looking for an L bracket for my old Sony A99II would any of you have an old one around you would be willing to sell? I am not finding anything at B&H, amazon, or ebay. I bought a new camera and L bracket, but like to keep the old one as my back up, but don't want to have to be switching heads
I'm a Nikon user, but I have one of these cameras with the Sony 24-105mm lens on it all the time. It's the one I grab for casual use and family gatherings. I love it and I'm glad to have it. BTW the lens you are offering is a very good one too.
thanks for commenting I am hoping someone out there needs this great little camera
