Do you use case with your Digital M?

[akk2]

I'm think about the get a case or not 🙂

Nope, since it would make the camera slightly larger and heavier. I use a "lens coat", little camera protection thing when I stuff the camera in my regular (non-camera) shoulder bag.

Thanks! I was looking around for a neoprene case and hadn't come across that one. Far more inexpensive than others with a Leica badge on them.

BTW, does the body bag from lens coat fit a M8+lens? It's only designed for an SLR body but I'm wondering because of the smaller size of the Leica whether it will take a lens too.

Yes, Luigi Crescenzi and original Leica Case.

I'm torn between using a case and not using one. I have a Luigi half case that makes the camera a lot more managable in my hands but it has the fold down flap which drives me mad on the occasions where I'm constantly checking results (chimping).

I bought a used M grip which makes the camera nicer to hold naked but my index finger tends to wind up over the rangefinder window occasionally!

I hate individual camera cases of any kind.

Maybe i should think about get one without the flap:bang:

No case, and my M8 shows some battle wounds. I thought about getting a case, but at this point it doesn't really matter. I would consider one of the cases with a grip built in though, that seems like a nice feature.

Luigi's 1/2 case is great... It protects the most vulnerable parts and It's easy enough to get to the screen if I want to take a look. Even the gripless version makes the camera easier to hold.

I've had the Zhou 1/2 case for 2 weeks now. It is really a nice option IMO. Tried the Luigi basic case and did not find it much better to grip. I have bigger hands and prefer a bit more mass to hold onto. The Zhou case is under $75 or so new. I have them on my RD1 and ZI also.

Not always a case,

Not always a case,

but a nice bottle of red definitely

see, I work out so I can hold the camera and the case.
I'ts not like it turns into a 5D (weightwise, not ISO perf)

Invest your money in ThumbsUp instead. It's a must have thing IMO.

 

[chief]

Luigi's case with his grip and thumbs up must have combo.

 

[kully]

I have the thumbs up and Luigi case as well. It's less for protection and more for holding comfort.

 

[akk2]

thanks for replies, if u could only have one, thumb up or a case with grip?
(Still waiting for my M9 Grey, have some time to think about it)

akk2 - get the thumbs-up if you have the choose.

Neoprene cover for the cam while carrying in the backpack. Slips on and off very fast.
But I hate half-cases ´cause loosing the feeling while taking pictures.
