Advertisement Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Hi insomnia, Take a look here Flash Hot Shoe Cover. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bill Posted February 3, 2012 Share #22 Posted February 3, 2012 Sorry no, you posted in between, whilst I was hammering the keyboard I was referring to the prices in the links above. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted February 3, 2012 Share #23 Posted February 3, 2012 Aluminium Leica M9 Hot Shoe Cover by insomnia09, on Flickr I also thought about this a while back (the ones from match technical are a little cheap/ugly to my mind). If enough people are interested in one, I'll make some out of aluminum (probably anodized, the one above is painted). Please let me know! Sign me up looks amazing!

RockyIII Posted February 5, 2012 Share #27 Posted February 5, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) . . . I'll make some out of aluminum (probably anodized, the one above is painted). Please let me know! A black anodized one would be nice. I like how you covered the screw. Two questions: 1. Being made of metal, is there any danger of completing a circuit between the contacts and damaging something? 2. Is it easily removed? Rocky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyIII Posted February 5, 2012 Share #28 Posted February 5, 2012 I wonder why the M9 has that little black piece in the hot shoe that protrudes beyond the rear of the camera. What purpose does it serve? Rocky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyIII Posted February 5, 2012 Share #29 Posted February 5, 2012 Paul, could you match the luster and color of the hot shoe? That might be nicer than black. I like how the hot shoe cover that comes with the M9 Titanium blends in. Leica Camera AG - Photography - M9 Titanium Rocky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
myshkine Posted February 6, 2012 Share #30 Posted February 6, 2012 I use the hotshoe for inserting a reminder of what film I have loaded. I am not a frequent photographer so I keep forgetting what emulsion I'm shooting... But it is an interesting gadget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
payasam Posted February 6, 2012 Share #31 Posted February 6, 2012 Last week I cut one from a Fuji film canister. My digital cameras' shoe contacts get filthy too rapidly. I use a IIIc and an M6 and therefore can lay my hands on the raw material. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubes Posted February 6, 2012 Share #32 Posted February 6, 2012 The usual reason. Which is? I've been handling cameras for over 30 years and have never before missed this accessory (and yet here I am reading--and posting to--this thread, so I guess I'm interested).

bill Posted February 7, 2012 Share #33 Posted February 7, 2012 I use one because it stops the hotshoe catching on the lining of my jacket pocket. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
