Thanks all. I ended up sending to Olof Ekbergh. He fixed the receptacle and added a much stronger base plate cheaper and quicker than Sony would have. Here's some photos:

The aperture to me isn't that big of a deal--you're going to want it to be pretty wide open all the time, and you just control exposure with the camera. Also, you can increase the 70mm slightly by...
