Leica M handgrip clone

[EtoileFinder]

Anybody use the M grip clone made from china ? I read on the web that's made in plastic like the original leica grip. Does it worth the money, what's your experience with it ?

I just bought one, it's made of Aluminum. Bought it 'cause it fits the M5 without any adapting. Haven't had any time to try it out yet. $35 on Ebay.

I use only the original M Grip, under my MP and M7 and think that are better then chinese clone.

I had the impression that it was anodized alloy of sorts for the replica grip. The Chinese design is basically a TOTAL rip off of the original Leica design.

Cheers,

That sounds interessting.
@Nokton48: can you tell me the sellers name?

Here is the Auction. He photographed it on his M4 and M5 (just got a chrome M5) so that clinched the deal. It's as good as the Voigtlander Speedgrip, IMO:
