Eoin Posted September 16, 2009 Share #21 Posted September 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Cosmetic marks won't effect your pictures, lol. Perhaps your resale value though. But then again, if you're a Leica nut, you'll know it's the biggest mistake to sell any Leica equipment. It's like selling children, perhaps you feel like it from time to time but a decision you'll surely regret. Cameras give far more pleasure when used rather than Being pampred over.

leicajh Posted September 16, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 16, 2009 Not an investment, camera. On the Rolex forum people obsess about removing the hologram and watch values. I use a H&K Tactical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like selling children, perhaps you feel like it from time to time but a decision you'll surely regret. Isn't that ever the truth!! I don't have a single instance, other when upgrading my M8's, where I didn't regret selling a Leica lens or body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobPS Posted September 18, 2009 Share #27 Posted September 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) A hand grip, like Photo Equip ML grip or maybe leica's, will protect the base plate. To me, the grip also makes hand holding or carrying the camera with my hand much more comfortable than without a grip. As for the leather case, I don't use it. When I carry two lenses, the one in the bag is wrapped in a lens cleaning cloth, or if I leave the bag in the car, I put that lens in my pocket.

giordano Posted September 18, 2009 Share #28 Posted September 18, 2009 I protect mine with an insurance policy. It's cheaper than a Luigi half-case and covers a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m8point2 Posted September 18, 2009 Share #30 Posted September 18, 2009 I can't wait to get my M9, but I'm really sorry theirs no sappigher LCD like my M8.2, so I guess I need to get some LCD protector things. I'm also sad I can't use my IR-UV filter (no menu choice) to protect my 50nm 'lux. Can I cut the same LCD protectors into a circle and use them on the front of my lens? el Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Negative Posted September 18, 2009 Share #32 Posted September 18, 2009 when the rottweiller is snarling i find that it provides enough distraction that a quiet shutter is no longer a concern. back to the meds ... lol! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted September 18, 2009 Share #33 Posted September 18, 2009 first, I register camera and lens with stuffbak StuffBak - Protect Your Mobile Assets second, I itemize everything on my homeowners policy and I carry everything in a Billingham M Billingham and Co Hadley Pro or Fogg bag http://www.foggspecialistbags.com/index.htm [or put the lens and camera in a Billingham insert] and stick it in a pocket.

gwelland Posted September 19, 2009 Share #37 Posted September 19, 2009 I've just thought of a killer 3rd party option for the M camera. I use Lens Coats on my DSLR big glass - why not have a slip on covering for your M that makes it look 'distressed'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
