The protrusion on the front does add good security for a vertical hold, especially. For a film camera, if you are using a number of films then of course it slows down the change. I like the additional protection against bumps as well.

I'm curious how well the little angled grips on these cases work, compared to the Leica grip. I have big hands, but I don't really like the Leica grip on my M6, so I only use it with my 90 Summicron, or in marginal available light situations. I tend to prefer small grips like the R-D1's little protrusion. I'm asuming the Leica half case has a grip protrusion--it appears to on the picture, but I'm not sure. It strikes me that a half case would give a better gripping surface, and maybe help keep accidental finger pokes away from the LCD and buttons. Also, does anyone know what the status of Tom A's M8 grip is? (In answer to the inevitable question, yeah, I'm thinking seriously about taking the plunge. . .) --Peter _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
