krieves Posted September 23, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) My half case for my M240 arrived today. My first impressions are very positive. It seems to really help holding on to the camera and helps protect it from bumps and bruises that might effect its use/picture quality. I was curious what experiences others have had with one?

bocaburger Posted September 23, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2014 At the time I got my M240 there just happened to be a used full case at a dealer going for $20 more than the half case, so I went with that. Of course the top comes off (and in fact the snout is only good for shorter, narrower lenses), but the advantage over the half case is that the bottom of th full case has a hanging back flap which when flipped up (held magnetically) it completely protects (and hides) the LCD and all the buttons. I find that immensely advantageous because I rarely use the LCD and somehow I always manage to get my thumb on the control thing/set-button when picking the camera up. It does thicken an already thick camera though, to the point the M240 can hardly be called compact anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krieves Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted September 23, 2014 I got the Angelo Pelle case that has the rear cover that snaps on. It does add some thickness, but protects the rear of the camera. I don't use the display a lot, so it's no trouble to open the back if I need to chimp.

Bildchef Posted September 24, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 24, 2014 When I got my new M240 I purchased the original black Leica leathercase with small frontflap (Type Nr. 14547) and I'm really happy with it. I guess Bocaburger is talking about the same case. I also most of the time remove the frontcap and have a very strong quality halfcase then. The rearflap with the magnetic lock perfectly shelters the LCD and never annoys me when shooting, neither closed nor opened. This Leica case ist rather pricey (360€), however, I find it worth it after some months of use. And for travelling the then attached frontcap is a perfect shelter as well for the mounted lens and fits with lenses up to my SE21 with mounted sunshade. The only complaining I have is that disconnecting and reconnecting the frontcap of the case can be a pain, at least in the first time until one gets the trick out. This Leica case fits the camera tight and secure and handling is easy (all magnetic lockings) and I have no doubt the thick leather will live as long as the camera inside cheers Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
