Anybody else running into issues using the Really Right Stuff Base plate ( BM10 B ) specifically on the M10 Monochrom? I'm attaching a photo (left: factory fit) showing the issue (only occurring on the side with the circular tab/retainer) where the base plate is pushing on the leatherette to the point where it's bubbling the material. I could certainly file the base plate down, but that's not ideal. According to RRS, they've heard vague rumors of concerns with the M10M. Also, I'm seeing that the rubber pad on the opposite side of the "problem spot" is slightly misaligned. Exchanging is complicated by the fact that the item appears to be on backorder and RRS indicated they are not going to do another production run (i.e. it's a discontinued item). I may consider a universal L-bracket, but these base plates are pretty sweet. Incidentally, the L-bracket and grip from my M240 RRS variant appear to line up perfectly with the M10 model. I've had great luck with RRS products in the past, but maybe I got a lemon. I imagine the tolerances are likely an issue on the Leica cutting/placement of the leatherette side of things, but that's going to get tricky to sort out. Thanks for your feedback! (Sorry for duplicating, I started this on the M10 side and wasn't clear on how to migrate to the monochrom world)

Am especially interested in how well the RRS grip works on an M10. I just did a test shoot of an M10, and most definitely like this camera; however, it was a bit awkward holding the camera when switching back and forth from landscape to portrait, so I thought Really RIght Stuff (RRS) might help. I use L-brackets on two Canon 1-series bodies, and the L-bracket on the left side of the body is easy to grip whether shooting landscape or portrait. Also, RRS has a hand grip that mounts on the right side of the body of the M10, and would love to hear from someone who has the hand grip to see how well it works.
