Inevitable questions ....

I use a VKO strap for the Leica CL, but the fitting on the SL is different.

Anyone recommend a hand strap ?

I fancy protecting the bottom of the camera against scratches. Anyone use a case ? I am trying to find something very minimal, seen this ?

Any recommendations of useful accessories ?

thanks

I use a handstrap: Herringbone Heritage. The lower end is attached to a universal RRS Arca Swiss baseplate. Works for me.

The battery grip no doubt adds weight & bulk but I found it to provide:

1.  Vertical trigger, both dials & joystick, an economical wonder;

2.  Holds an additional battery for assured prolong usage. Under normal usage, I never had to remove 1st battery from camera for charging purpose and the external OLED screen shows both battery power levels;

3.  Allows the adaption of the original Leica S handgrip to be installed and user can grip camera comfortably due to additional battery grip height.

In addition, the 3rd party shoulder strap provides fast attach/detach holders using camera left eye lope & eye lope on my Gizmo tripod fast release which I attach to the base of battery grip permanently.

I like the arrangement as it offers me secure grip plus less stress over neck strap arrangement offered by stock camera strap.

I have the Harry Benz  Brogue SL It is amazingly comfortable with the heavy lenses - even the 50mm Summilux SL. I have walked for hours with it. I have the maximum length 135 cm so I can carry it cross body. By attaching it to top left of the camera and bottom right on the RRS  L plate (looking from the back) the camera carries with the lenses pointing down and can be swung up to the eye easily - like a sling strap does.
