Bases covered

Simple piecevof sticky-backed transparent film but it does the job, protecting against scratches. It isn't perfect, a tad thicker would be better but one can always applt two or even three pieces for added protection.

6-Bit Encoder Kit (for Leica M Mount Lenses)

Great unobtrusive case with grip.

Purchased because i wanted to try a grip on my m246. It really feels quite sturdy and texture is nice. Note to use it along with a strap as it isnt fixed in place but does sit nice and snug. Easy to remove to get to battery and sd card.

Leica M2/M3/M4 · Slim Skin Case

Works as Advertised

I coded all of my Voigtlander lenses and I was surprised that it worked. I eventually removed the ink code because I wasn’t happy with the corrections that were being made to my images upon import into Lightroom. I decided I’d rather do the corrections myself. I might try just one lens and work with it before I try the other lenses again. But definitely a worthwhile purchase. (And it was delivered to me in the US with no tariff due!)

Good product

The template works well. I was able to apply 6 bit coding to 2 lenses in under 5 minutes. It is well worth the money.

Excited to have my Voightlander 35mm and 50mm Leica M-mounts show up in my Leica M11! This is such a great mod for these 3rd party lenses. I highly recommend. Easy to do and well worth it!

Fuji X-E5 grip + tripod mount

A really great fit, adds little bulk and gives good protection to base and corners. The grip cover at the front and the enhanced grip at the back for thumb add to the feeling of security when holding the camera. I prefer to carry my X-E5 with hanging vertically over my shoulder or cross-body and the tripod mount version makes this really easy because I can attach the Peak Design anchors to the tripod screw. Highly recommended.

FUJIFILM X-E5 · Slim Skin Case

Excellent! A top piece of equipment for a top piece of equipment.

I was a little skeptical whether this would feel as great as it does in hand. It looks sleek and is a decent price point for what it is. It has made day to day shooting very comfortable and my camera feels safe in hand. It is easy to use and pops off confidently and doesn’t feel like it’s going to break. It’s a really decent bit of kit. I highly recommend.

SL2 skin

Very good fit, very tactile and the protection for the indent in the handgrip is a nice touch, as is the thumbrest on the back. It is a well designed cover, even if it does not allow access to the battery it can at least be removed and replaced quickly. Overall a nice piece of kit providing good grip and good protection.

Excellent Case With Virtually No Added Bulk

I absolutely love this case for my Fuji X-E5.

I’ve tried a number of alternatives before settling on this one, including the SmallRig grip, the SmallRig leather case, and a few custom leather cases. This is the first option that truly feels like it complements the camera rather than changing what makes it special.

The biggest benefit is how much confidence it gives me when using larger lenses. I regularly shoot with f/1.8 primes and even some zoom lenses, and this case makes the X-E5 far more secure and comfortable in hand without throwing off the balance.

What really sets it apart, though, is how little bulk it adds. Unlike other cases and grips, this one adds almost no noticeable size or weight, which keeps the camera compact and discreet — exactly why I chose the X-E5 in the first place.

Before using this case, I was seriously considering buying a second camera body just to better handle heavier lenses. Now, I don’t see the need at all.

I was initially concerned about the lack of a battery door opening, but that’s turned out to be a complete non-issue. Removing and reinstalling the case takes only a few seconds during a battery change.

Finally, the company behind the product has been excellent to deal with — responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely receptive to customer feedback. That attention to detail really shows in the final design.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants better handling without sacrificing the compact nature of the X-E5.

Comfort-Fit hand grip

I bought few cases for my Leica and Nikon Zf. All fix nicely and comfortably on the hand.
Unfortunately, the one on the M11 drop off without notice today during the photo walk and I am not able to find it. Will be more careful handling with existing.
