About $100

I actually have about 60 rolls of tri x and enough hc 110 for it (only enough fixer for 40 rolls). I think I'm fine for film and processing.
Does any one have a link to a good grip? I saw a really nice wood one that was out of my price range and I know there are the rapid winder grips that are also out of my range.
A link to a good strap to compare to the artisan and artist (which I really like) would be nice too.
I have some softies.

I have not found softies or grips much use.

A neck strap is a good idea—my current fav is the Street Strap, soft and pliant like the A&A but much less expensive. http://www.streetstrap.com/

If you don't have a lens hood, yeah.

I like the A&A half case for improved grip and feel, a little bit of protection for the body too, but its $130, a little over the budget you suggested.

If you don't have a light meter, well, you likely should get one. Lots of different ones. If you use an iPhone, the Fotometer Pro app does a good job.

I also agree with this one. I got an entire darkroom setup (lucked out on the enlarger for $20) for no more than $100 a few months ago and nothing has made me want to shoot or enjoy my cameras more. It's weird to me that some people shoot on film and don't develop at home once they feel confident with their skill exposing and shooting, which was the only reason I held back at first.

Of course to each their own. I've purchased some nice straps in my time, but the best one I have came with my Bessa R3A. I don't know if you can buy that strap separately, but it's really nice.

Space and time are the usual obstacles. And printing from color slides.

My first thought was, "lens hood." Which admittedly has nothing to do with the acquisition of a body, but it's the first thing I'd buy with loose "accessory money", presuming I didn't already have one for each lens. Helps reduce flare, and keeps raindrops, snowflakes, and my fingers off the front element.

Seconded. (And what about a lens for theM4-P?)

Buy film etc! The "Soft Touch" is a way to accidentally release your shutter. Leica is designed to release with gloves..Don't get a leather strap. Nylon.I love the EOS ones..
A lens hood. A must for flare lenses. A coated filter that fits.
