You probably remember the Kamerakraft LM grip v2.0 for Leica M film cameras (already sold out). Over the past few months, I have had many readers ask me about the M10 version of the grip. Today, Kamerakraft finally released the LM10 version for Leica M10 cameras with ARCA rail and memory card storage. You can order the new grip directly from the Leica Rumors Online Store – keep in mind that this is a limited edition run of only 200 pieces, so plan your purchase accordingly (the price includes free international shipping).

Additional information on the new Kamerakraft LM10 camera grip for Leica M10 cameras:
- There is a total limited quantity of 200 pieces. Each handle is assembled the moment you place your order, so you can expect a delay of 2-3 days before shipping.
- This handle is made from solid 6061 aluminum.
- Compatible with every Leica M10 variation body* – this includes the Leica M10, M10-P, M10-D, M10-R, and M10-Monochrom.
- A hidden slot will allow you to store an extra SD card inside the handle.
- A quick-access hinged door allows you to remove your battery and SD card while leaving your grip attached to the camera.
- Tripod quick-lock rail (ARCA standard) and 1/4″ screw ensure maximum compatibility.
- Clean design that won’t ruin your Leica slimline.
- The Kamerakraft LM10 camera grip actually replaces the original Leica baseplate. The black and silver anodizing have been made to get very close to the original finish.
- The LM10 has a grippy profile that lets you hold your camera with only two fingers.
Four different versions are available (see pictures above):
- Black anodized grip with matte black metal handle (SOLD OUT)
- Black anodized grip with natural walnut handle
- Silver anodized grip with matte black metal handle (SOLD OUT)
- Silver anodized grip with natural walnut handle
Wood is a living material, so each handle will be unique with slightly different patterns. Also, tints can vary from sample to sample as it as all made by hand.
* When using the following old goggled lenses, you will have to remove the grip for mounting and un-mounting the lens because the goggles will interfere with the grip area: Summaron 35mm f/2.8 with goggles, Summicron 35mm f/2 with goggles, Elmarit 135mm f/2.8 with goggles.
