J.S Posted June 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2020 Hi, I think you can use any M240 half case since it’s got same dimension as M262. For my M262 I am using an M240 half case from Angelo Pelle bought from LFI online shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdheaton Posted June 28, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 28, 2020 Try Classic Cases in the UK. I bought mine from them. https://www.classiccases.co.uk/parametric-search/?wpv-product_cat=camera-cases&wpv_post_search=&wpv_filter_submit=Search There is an Italian maker who is very good, but I don't have one of theirs. https://www.luigicases.com/a000-CasesforLeicaM.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted June 29, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 29, 2020 The best half case you can buy is the one you leave at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

52K Posted July 5, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 5, 2020 The M240 is the same as the M246 in dimensions so anything for that will fit your 246. I bought the Artist and Artisan case for of my cameras and also the Leica half-case for the other. Now I don't use either of them but I did, for a long time. I carried one of my cameras all over the world and used it extensively around Asia on about 20 separate trips. I felt that it did give it some good protection but I'm also very careful with my kit and that is probably why the camera is still mint condition but to be honest, I started to tire of the additional weight and bulk of these cases and stopped using them. I now have a new M10P which is lighter and thinner than the M240 and I find myself thinking that I'll probably not bother with a half-case at all. It's a very personal choice and everyone will have their own opinion and experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeray Posted July 7, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 7, 2020 Bought a half case and strap from these people many years back for my M240.

plaidshirts Posted November 2, 2020 Share #12 Posted November 2, 2020 Found a half case for $50 on eBay that takes the place of the bottom plate and allows access to the battery and card without having to remove it. We’ll see how long it lasts but so far so good. 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!

I hope you like it. Mine is "in the mail." The concept seemed good to me. I like the half case for the protection it can offer. Not complete protection but better than none at all.
