This is a one-piece black leather case with two press-studs on the back for fastening. I use it with either the 35mm or 50mm Summicron. It makes the camera look very anonymous, and can be removed and scrunched up into a jacket pocket very quickly. It offers minor protection from the elements and the odd minor bump. Iain P.S. Didn't there used to be a case for the Leica M5 which folded flat? On Fri, 25 Jul 1997, S. Khai Mong wrote: > > Does anybody have strong feelings towards the "Everready" cases made > for the M's?
