A great little case

This is one of the slimmest grip options available for the X100VI. It's super low profile and extremely well built.

The thumbrest is a little odd though. It can be extremely uncomfortable if you wrap your thumb around the camera a long way and position it to the right, over the AE lock button. It feels like it was designed for you to hold the camera with your thumb more vertical, just next to the Q button. Doing this results in a much better experience.

Keeping this in mind I'm SUPER happy with this case and would absolutely recommend it.

I use an M EV1. I purchased both the black and clear versions, and tried applying the clear one first. However, it wasn’t truly transparent, so I contacted them about it.

They then tested it directly on a black body, listened to my feedback, confirmed that it was not transparent enough, and immediately changed to a new material. They even sent me two replacement sets free of charge.

It has become much clearer now. The level of finish is close to Leica’s genuine bottom plate protection film for film M bodies. Now it is truly transparent!

Thank you.

Great travel case for the x100vi

I am half way through a holiday in Europe and this case has made the x100vi very comfortable to use. It adds nearly zero bulk while the grip is large enough to improve handling. I previously used the Smallrig grip which makes the camera too bulky. Although the case covers the battery access, I found it easy enough to slip on and off.

New ID for old M lens

Nice to have it on hand, give the old lens new ID for Leica digital camera. Easy to use, faster and safe to do it. Instead of remove the lens mount and engraved the color code, paint it is another choice for the lens owner.

My new Leica Q3 43

I searched for a grip for my Leica because my grip did not feel secure. After trying the $450 leather version I found the Akara version. It is perfect! It does not shriek Leica and invite camera snatchers, it fits my hand perfectly, including rounded edges, and it pops off to remove the SD card and change the battery.

Excellent

If you want to protect the back of your Leica this is the right product: very similar appearance to vulcanite, excellent cut and design, perfect adhesive

Work as intended

The rings hide the silver nose of many lenses. Not only is it a much prettier look but also cuts down on reflections you might see of the lens while shooting in glass. A tiny bit of silver remains visible so I add a UV filter with a black ring and voila! everything is now black.
