Leica M/M-P 'Protector' review
While I typically prefer to use cameras without cases or half cases, believing that a camera should be unencumbered, the sleek profile of the Leica M camera does require a bit more to hold onto securely. The grips appeal, but the half case also offers a lot of protection to the body.The black half case or 'Protector', as Leica calls it, appears to be no longer available, leaving only the brown in some stores. It’s described as ‘cognac’ coloured - a little too light for my liking (and a little lighter than pictured, I would say). It's not as discreet, but, in fairness, out on the street, as it were, no one gives it a second glance. On the base, there’s a stamped Leica roundel, but it’s very low-key and, anyway, it’s not visible from the front.
