karl_georg_wolf Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Markus, do not be too disappointed: I had to sell my A.-grip again - won on ebay at quite a decent rate ecently - because the thing was way too big for me. In my old days I worked on a building site, so my hand holding the camera is not too small actually, but together with the grip it became a pain to me to hold the camera properly ... Regretted to let go a very neatly finished piece of gear, neat also because of the possibility to store a spare battery in it. Very important, with the A.-grip attached the M6 looked phantastic, very professionel. I?am using the original LEICA-grip now, much smaller and fits perfectly, IMO.

david_carson Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 If you are going to stand/walk for long periods of time, try Lutz's "Sling" at leicagoodies.com. I have a Leica grip gathering dust as the Sling is much better for long stints (like at a wedding). The Leica grip (any grip, really) will still cause cramping in your forarm, as you still must flex to hold the camera. The Sling allows your arm to relax as friction hold the camera on your fingers. The only downside of the Sling is it takes a sec to get it on or off with one hand. With two hands it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jongraham1 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 If anyone wants a 'sling' by Lutz, I have one. Do not use it anymore because I find a handstrap safer. No charge. Some things are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
