aliwton Posted October 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone own both a Leica M240 and a Leica M10 with it's respective leather holster (Leica 24016)? I have a M-P (typ 240) - and I'll probably wait for a future M10-P to make a switch - so I was wondering if it would fit in the M10 holster, as it is almost the same size - just 3 millimetres thicker. I'd be just great if someone could do the test and share some pictures. Thanks! Warm regards, Ali Carvalho PS: maybe the Leica Q leather holster (Leica 19503) could also fit the M240/M-P. Can anyone try this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyman Posted October 24, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 24, 2017 I had an M240 and just bought an M10. I have the Anglo-Pelle half case. To my surprise the M10 fits. Not as tight as the M240, but it is OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted October 24, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 24, 2017 I had an M240 and just bought an M10. I have the Anglo-Pelle half case. To my surprise the M10 fits. Not as tight as the M240, but it is OK. How can that be ???? The sizes of the 2 cameras are different . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudman Posted October 24, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 24, 2017 Millimeters of difference between them. Leather tends to mold itself to what you put it around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted October 24, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 24, 2017 Ali I tried my M-D 262 in the M10 holster in Leica Mayfair just to see if it would fit to give me yet another strap/bag/case/whatever option.....it was a bit too snug so I'm not sure a 240 will fit. Didn't have mine with me to check but IMHO it would need to be forced in (and then forced out again while the 'decisive moment' slips away) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folks at Leica Store just replied to me, including some pics of an M240 inside M10 holster. According to them it works, as long as you use a naked camera - a leather case would make it impossible. I'll try to find a third party option or maybe even order something custom made. Suggestions are welcomed. Best regards, Ali Carvalho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get it yet. I felt that it was too tight to be used on a regular basis. At least the M10 holster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the M10 holster.I think I'd like it to be tight, to prevent it moving around within the holster and accidentally falling out. On the other hand, I don't know how tight it is, you may be right to be cautious. Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antigallican Posted January 8, 2018 Share #13 Posted January 8, 2018 If a 240 will fit am I right to presume an M9 will? I'd love to carry the M9 in a holster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M9 will probably fit much better than the M240, as it's similar to the M10 in size. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antigallican Posted January 8, 2018 Share #15 Posted January 8, 2018 The M9 will probably fit much better than the M240, as it's similar to the M10 in size. I ordered one. How rash is that?

Peter H Posted January 8, 2018 Share #16 Posted January 8, 2018 The M9 will probably fit much better than the M240, as it's similar to the M10 in size. No it isn't, unfortunately. The M9 and M240 are virtually identical in size apart from the little thumb-grip on the back of the M240. The M9 and M240 are virtually the same depth. The M10 is a few mm thinner.

The M9 and M240 are virtually identical in size apart from the little thumb-grip on the back of the M240. The M9 and M240 are virtually the same depth. The M10 is a few mm thinner. The M240 is much chunkier than the M10, by nearly 5mm. That's why it almost doesn't fit into the M10 holster (as seen on the pics above). That's also what I read on virtually every M10 review (many of them comparing it's size to the old M9). In fact, according to B&H, the M9 is slightly thinner: M9 - 139.7 x 78.7 x 38.1 mm M240 - 139.7 x 78.7 x 43.2mm M10 - 139.0 x 80.0 x 38.5mm https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/649923-USA/Leica_10704_M9_Rangefinder_Digital_Camera.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/893170-USA/Leica_10770_M_Digital_Camera_Black.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1312198-REG/leica_20000_m10_digital_rangefinder_camera.html On camerazise.com it's a bit different, but same conclusion: M9 - 139.0 x 80.0 x 37.0 mm M240 - 139.0 x 80.0 x 42.0mm M10 - 139.0 x 80.0 x 38.5mm https://leicarumors.com/2017/01/23/leica-m10-vs-m-vs-m9-vs-m6-vs-q-vs-sl-size-comparison.aspx/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted January 8, 2018 Share #19 Posted January 8, 2018 Using the M10 holster with the M240 might let you pull off the rubber ring around the ovf due to strong shear forces. Regards Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hold the two cameras, or three if you include the M240, you’ll understand that the M10 is appreciably the thinnest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
