I have Thumbs up as well and find the combo with Artisan and Artist is perfect. It provides the missing support with larger lens like the 35 Summilux TL which I also have. I use my CL with SL 90 F2 which is even larger. The quality on the AA is excellent. Also its priced considerably lower than covers that are not nearly as good or as attractive. Thank you. Can you post a closer pic of the “fit” of the Leica thumb grip vis-a-vis the leather cover of the artisan and artist? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the best quality photos but hopefully will give you a better idea on the area you asked about. Welcome, dear visitor!

Viv Posted November 6, 2019 Share #265 Posted November 6, 2019 Although I do not share it, I understand the urge to use a half-case with the CL. My main reason for not doing so is that any half-case increases the thickness of the camera body in the hand. I stopped using the M9 because the body was thicker than that of my previous rangefinder camera (the Zeiss Ikon) and just felt wrong. I had other issues with the M9, including inconsistent white balance, but that is for a different discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reason for using a half case is precisely that: To make the CL body a little thicker and a little taller for a better grip. Of the digital Ms, the M-D262 (and newer M10-D) feel the best in my hands because the body thickness is about right and there's enough leatherette/gripping space for them to be comfortable in handling. I never put a half-case on my M-D 262. Diff'rent strokes... G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost. Posted November 6, 2019 Share #267 Posted November 6, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Been a while since I was on this board, Glad to be back! I just bought a CL and TL 23 lens and am wondering what minimal case/bag this setup will fit in while I wait for it to arrive. I don’t a mean sleeve, Half case or anything leather, I’m looking for a case/pouch to transport just the camera and one lens while bouncing around Indonesia this winter on a scooter. Minimal padding, no pockets, and when empty with the camera around my neck it will pack small in my backpack. Styling is far second to minimal functionality keeping the CL from getting scratched by other items in my backpack. Something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/884414-REG/Lowepro_lp36444_0ww_Dashpoint_30_Camera_Pouch.html Anyone have any case suggestions for this combo? Thanks!

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Thanks to both of you. I was trying to figure out if the Leica thumbs up was better for me than the Match Technical thumbs up. Returning the Match Technical. I have short fingers and might need the grip as well.

Dave in Wales Posted November 24, 2019 Share #271 Posted November 24, 2019 I bought one of these ............ https://www.amazon.co.uk/MegaGear-MG1457-Genuine-Leather-Camera/dp/B07DCXB9WL/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?keywords=leica+CL+case+usa&qid=1574587777&sr=8-1-fkmr1 Can't be much good I thought, sooooo cheap. How wrong I was, excellent quality and superb value. I punched a hole in the bottom flap, removed the existing case retaining screw and fitted my own that had a 1/4" BSW thread for a tripod screw. Now I can use it on my monopod without removing the case..........there's clever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
