jevidon Posted August 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just purchased an M240 (black) used in pristine condition. It came with a RRS base plate and grip. I would like to locate a very clean to pristine M240 base plate in black so that I can use my Luigi Crescenzi leather half case. I checked Ebay a˜d came up with nothing. I can buy a new one from Leica, but that would break the bank and I can get along very nicely without using my leather half case if it comes to it. Does anyone know where I can locate a black M 240 base plate without breaking the bank? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Hi jevidon, Take a look here M (240) Base ( bottom) plate. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Exodies Posted August 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2017 Surely the seller of your camera will have the original baseplate. Unless it's a stolen one. What's the serial number? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 5, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2017 If you want to buy a mint one surely it will cost close to the Leica price. How much does it cost anyway? I replaced mine on a few cameras in the past and can't remember what they cost. An alternative would be to buy the Leicatime bottom plate. I think he has promotions from time to time which include a rather nice strap for free. Welcome, dear visitor!

Does anyone know where I can locate a black M 240 base plate without breaking the bank? If you are going to cover it with a case why the need for a pristine one. I was after one for my M240 last November and also came up blank on finding a used one. Leica Mayfair (UK) quoted me UK£250 for a new one.
