Re: [Leica] My new M Grip

["anthony.l" <anthony.l@steam.ca>]

The plastic cap on the grip sometimes comes off. You could either glue it down
or keep it as storage for a rolled up Benjamin. I found the grip especially
usefull when I strap it on my hand for discreet street shots...dangle it like
a gun. The center bottom screw mount is useful when I use it for the bracket
my of Metz. I like it so much that I have a pair of grips.
