[Koni Kowa]

Hello Back Alley, could you tell me if this grip fit on the back of the camera, too ?
Thanks.

not sure what you mean by 'fit on the back'.
it does not interfere with the camera back opening and closing.

 

[Koni Kowa]

I'm sorry : my english is not good enough to describe...
I was asking if the grip was just as large as the camera body, or larger. I hope you'll understand what I mean...
Thanks.

 

[back alley]

it was a perfect fit...on the camera and in my hand. it seemed made for the cle size body.
actually, it was better on the cle than on a zeiss ikon body.

I might have to try that grip...it actually looks better than the original CLE edition. I've never done grips, but we'll see. Also your vented metal hood looks great on the 40. Does it allow the original lens cover to fit inside it? I thought you were a strictly digital guy (rd-1's listed and previous comments re: film/digital) but you're doing film right with the CLE! Thanks for sharing your findings.

 

[back alley]

this is an old thread. my cle is gone now.
i never use lens caps, i store them in a pencil case in case i sell the lens.

i now use digital but used film for over 30 years. my comments are usually a reaction to perceived attitudes about digital.

Thank you Back Alley, and sorry again for the misunderstanding.

Looks like it's $99 two years later.

Question: Have you thought about breaking out a dremel and opening up the opneing so you can reach the rewind button?

I happily use a leicagoodies.com sling on mine. You'll never lose/drop the camera w/ it.

twit - camera is long gone

bill, the sling made me feel somewhat claustrophobic (if that makes any sense)

If your fingers can make you feel claustrophobic, you must be on the verge of hysteria in an elevator! haha

Aye, but while you had the camera and grip, were you ever tempted?

 

[back alley]

very much so...

 

[filmtwit]

So I made the plunge

I don't know why, but I expected it to be made from aluminum (honestly I don't know why). I want get the dremel out, but I'm not sure of the thickness of the plastic

 

[Koni Kowa]

Is it really all in plastic ?!! I thought it was aluminium too...

I have been using that grip since it was first mentioned on this site. It is plastic except a thin alum. plate right under the felt. I found that I had to use the Dremel tool into the alum. to get a space big enough to get my fat fingers through the hole to the buttons. I like it as the grip makes it easier for me to hold.

Good to know, I haven't yet hit it with the dremal.

Guys does any one know if this grip will fit the CL ,where is the screw in the CLE do you know if it is in the same place like the Leica ?

It won't fit the CL as the mounting point on a CL isn't in the right place. You can't even modify it to fit since that mounting point is center on the CL while it's on the left hand side of a CLE
