Photographers know that one of the least good things you can do with your camera is drop it on the ground. Fortunately, Leica has made this Handgrip M (model 14405) to fit classic-bodied film M cameras, from the M3 to the M7 (but not the M5, naturally.) Bonus: it provides a centred tripod socket. In excellent condition, with light crackling of the foam camera pad, which does not affect function.
