Ouroboros Posted November 17, 2021 Share #5 Posted November 17, 2021 Camera half cases are like Marmite and I really like Marmite It looks like a nicely made case, though. The main thing is to get out there and enjoy using your MP, beautiful cameras that only get better with age! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidshirts Posted November 17, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 17, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looks very nice and practical. Most cases cover some or all of the battery compartment but this doesn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cases cover some or all of the battery compartment but this doesn’t. I am not seeing the impracticality in having to remove the half case to replace the battery every three years, especially since you need to remove it after every 36 shots to replace the film. My half-cases of choice are the Leica originals. Unlike most camera brand cases the Leica cases have superb quality leather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the added bulk having a case over the battery cover creates. This case looks to be more comfortable to hold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giguchan Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted November 19, 2021 It Is pretty comfy to wear but to tell you the truth I kind of like wearing my MP without it. I went through the trouble of ordering it then waiting 3 months for it to arrive. You can bet I'm going to use it. I've never seen Leica Case before in person.. I'm sure that the Leather is above Top Notch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted November 19, 2021 Share #11 Posted November 19, 2021 I have the Leica M6 'never-ready' case and I'm not impressed with it. I also have the Artisan and Artist leather half-case on both my M6s, and they are very nice. Perhaps not as nice as yours, but 'nice', none-the-less. A leather half case makes holding the M with a single hand more secured and definitely protects the bottom from bumps and scrapes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was what the thin strip of plastic on the bottom plate was for. Wait, you didn't actually remove it, did you? 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 19, 2021 Share #13 Posted November 19, 2021 Never-ready-cases have always been for people who don't know how to look after a camera and maybe want to throw it into the boot of the car, and half-cases are a halfway house, they ask the question 'have you got a camera bag or haven't you'? Leica go out of their way to make the camera compact and owners can do what they like to make it fatter, but better still develop a sense of care and responsibility, otherwise just like the piece of toast dropped on the floor it will always land butter side down.

Many years ago when I bought my first new Leica I also bought the Leica Never-Ready case. I tried it once and it now resides in a cupboard somewhere in the house. I have to say it is a beautiful piece of leather work and, by removing the front cover, can become a half case. However it is far too bulky compared with the Luigi half cases that I use from time to time on my IIId. I like the analogy of the toast falling butter side down, my dog looks forward to that happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IkarusJohn Posted November 20, 2021 Share #17 Posted November 20, 2021 Some years ago, I bought a half case for the MP I had at the time - it was very thin, fine black leather that fit like a glove. I think it came from China. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
