I just never figured out why anyone would like to separate = the handgrip from its bottom part. Using it just as a protection for = the Leica baseplate never came to my mind. I only referred to large = screw that attaches the M-grip to the baseplate. Please blame it on = my poor understanding of the English language. I simply didn=B4t = understand what an "allen wrench" was. Now I know, thank you. Peter. = And I=B4ll never again doubt the strengths of your fingers. It=B4s also interesting to find out that Leica itself apparently is = making a grip for the M-cameras. Does anyone know where one can see = it, or when it will reach the dealers? Claes
