MarkP Posted May 9, 2014 Share #8 Posted May 9, 2014 We Australians would really appreciate the Walther Leica-M Roo* Bar - don't leave home without one. Maybe with the Walther Roo Eyepiece we could see them before hitting them.... Welcome, dear visitor!

tookaphotoof Posted May 9, 2014 Share #9 Posted May 9, 2014 In that case it needs a redesign. That kangaroo will damage your lens for sure! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted May 9, 2014 Share #12 Posted May 9, 2014 We Australians would really appreciate the Walther Leica-M Roo* Bar - .... Yes, the name 'Walter Leica-M Bull Bars' occurred to me too. Actually though the Walter eyepiece is apparently very useful for using a particular spectacle prescription in the eyepiece. The pictures of the Stedi looked weird at first but over time I've warmed to it although I haven't tried one yet. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 9, 2014 Share #13 Posted May 9, 2014 Actually though the Walter eyepiece is apparently very useful for using a particular spectacle prescription in the eyepiece. Pete. If, you had a lot of astigmatism it wouldn't be very precise with the axis and that would produce a sort of "double image blur" that would be hard to utilize for RF focus. Any rotation of the camera if you stay pressed to the camera would become blurry as yo turn the camera. You would have to learn to turn the camera and not your head with it. That wouldn't work so well. Also, the lens doesn't seem to rotate smoothly in his video which would be a problem for anything other than small amounts of astigmatism because the axis needs to be corrected to a few degrees or you would get "double vision" or blur. Try rotating your glasses if you have astigmatism and you will see what I mean. Why not glasses? If, that is problem, get a contact lens corrected to plano or +0.25. I have contacts that correct my shooting eye to about +0.12 (I have 4D of astig!) and my non-dominant eye is corrected to +1.50 for near. Works like a charm for M shooting and I never use reading glasses to chimp. I use this as my primary correction for everything. Hope this helps anyone with correction trying to use their M. Ok for anyone to PM me with specific questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted May 9, 2014 Share #14 Posted May 9, 2014 At the bottom where you pay, it shows a Walter Nut Cracker but there is no link to one. Is it a Leica nut cracker. I clicked on the Paypal link and whatever it is cost $160. Wow, we might be able to use our M's as nut crackers.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted May 10, 2014 Share #15 Posted May 10, 2014 M-Stedi value depends on several things, like hand size and camera strap. It's designed around a small hand using the standard strap. I use a thick strap so I find it uncomfortable. Also I would not use it for wrist straps, or any single point straps. I use the RX daily, works well. The nutcracker is pretty cool.

viramati Posted May 10, 2014 Share #16 Posted May 10, 2014 The Roll-bar has to be seen to believed. I recommend watching the video which beats 45 minutes of polishing the Leica T hands down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted May 11, 2014 Share #17 Posted May 11, 2014 I can see how the roll bar would be quite functional - but it's pretty goofy looking. I think I'd go with a Luigi half case for camera protection instead of the roll bar. YMMV... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
