Made of high-quality soft black leather, the ever ready case affords perfect and elegant protection for the Leica M8 & M9 with a mounted lens measuring up to 70 mm from the bayonet flange. It is not only specially designed to fit the front-to-back dimension of the Leica M8, but naturally allows free access to the controls on the back of the camera and a free view of the 2.5" display. The bottom part is rotatable to enable easy changing of the battery and memory card without removing the case.
