Guys

What half cases are available and in use for the M (240). I looked on the A&A website but they have nothing right now. I wanted to try one of theirs as Andy has sworn by them, but also open to other options.

I had the Luigi for my M9 and liked that very much but want a red case to go on my Black body

Write to Luigi. He can make any color you want.

On his website you see just a few colors.

He has many more.

[Hey You]

Check out Paul Glendell's Classic Cases in the UK.

Here's the link to his website : Classic Cases - Hand-stitched Leather Cases for Leica Cameras

If you click-through to his FaceBook page you will see his prototype M240 case.

I have his M9 case and am delighted with it.

I intend to upgrade to his M240 case if ever I get this camera in my hot. sweaty hands.

I've seen all many half cases for Leica Ms over the years and we sell the full range of A&A products. The Arte Di Mano cases are the best I've seen and used. The fit and finish is unmatched. There is no slop, no awkward or loose fit. Incredible attention to detail.

Sir,

Yes I love the look of that especially in the FOXY BROWN EXTRA AGED do you think that color will go OK with the Black M body...............sure looks nice on the sliver body.

Also it looks like the LV button is slightly covered .......is it visable??

[rirakuma]

I'd have to agree with David. Although I've never used those cases before they have the best fit and finish compared to any other cases I've seen so far. Downside is they're extremely expensive.

David,

The Leica “Open-Style” M Type (240) Half Case is exactly what I want along with the Laccio Neck Strap both in Red. Do you have them or can you help me order them?

i bought foxy for my silver M, and it fit very good,also if i had black Leica (to be truth i wanted black but the first M at my dealer was silver)i think brown is universal color

 

my LV button is just a little covered and i dont have any problem to push it

Neil i really like your work, i also did ethnographic photography in Asia in last years but not in your countries.anyway many ethnic groups are the same across Asia. Wich ethnic group are the ones i see in Vietnam gallery? Miao?Dong?

[Guest Gilgamesh]

It's Sunday evening and having sent an enquiry to Angelo Pelle Orders <orders@angelo-pelle.com> and having received emails by return (it's 10:30pm in Italy) I have bought the aforementioned pre aged ( foxy brown extra aged).

It looks lovely!

Thanks for your comments. From what I can remember the name of the tribes people were the Hmong and Dao people.

At the speed of the bull racing no i didnt use my M9 but my Nikon D3s mostly shot at 200mm to give me time to get out of the way:D

well Hmong and Miao are the same ethnic group, in china and other countries are called as Miao and in Vietnam more known as Hmong

the same for Dao, in some part are called Dao in other part of asia as Yao

they are present in almost all SE Asia countries

 

did you travel also in more "remote" indonesia(i.e. Sulawesi?)

 

ps i was sure no Leica for such photos, anyway i dont like travel so "heavy" with a DSRL , actually if i will travel in this zones i preffer to carry a Sony RX1, leica M its even too costly...i dont want always keep an eye on my bag )))))

anyway i m a purist regarding focal lenght...i never us tele lens , rarely i shoot over 40mm

Just wondering, isn't Arte di mano based in Korea? I'm visiting soul 3 weeks from now and I can get a chance to buy one for my new M240.

Arrived already .........3 weeks not that bad. Hurry up Leica I just need a camera body to put in it now :(

[colorflow]

Just received my silver M and the Arte de Mano case today within hours of each other. I agree the de Mano case is by far the most elegant and has the best fit. I've used a Luigi case for my M8 and M9, and bought an Angelo Pelle case also for the M. The AP case is very rugged and has a built-in grip which will come in handy when using heavier R glass. But the de Mano case is the best.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[sisoje]

Once I get my New M, I am getting Luigi's most simple half case with flap door on the back. No grip, no bottom screw, no fancy...

I have one from my M8 days, and I use it on my M9. I had one with grip and bottom screw and always fought when removing it (damn screw!)... Sold it...

 

I also got another (used on FM forum) simple Luigi in brown for my recently acquired Steel Gray M9...

 

Arte de Mano sure looks pretty (in picture)! But, I see there is no real protection at the back of the camera... Not just for the screen but even for all control buttons (since there is no back cover...) and rear of the top plate. So (for me) it is more of a "bling" than a real protection accessory.

 

Back to Luigi: after having multiple samples of his cases for digital Ms, I never had any issues regarding fitment. So Signore Luigi, I will go back to you:p
