The new and updated Kamerakraft LM10GRIP V2 grip for Leica M10 cameras is back in stock (limited supply)

By LR admin | Published: March 3, 2023

The new and updated Kamerakraft LM10GRIP V2 grip for Leica M10 cameras is now in stock for both black and silver finish. This drop will be sold out quickly – only 20 pieces are available in black and 8 in silver.

Update – Kamerakraft grips are currently out of stock, but you can check the latest IDS Works modular grip for different Leica models.

The updated LM10Grip v2 has some new features: an improved mechanical lock on the battery door (the v1 had a magnet) and an overall better finish. The Arca rail, standard tripod thread (1/4″), and secondary SD holder remain unchanged. Additional information from the product listing:

Made from solid 6061 aluminum
Compatible with each and every Leica M10 variation body*. This includes the Leica M10, M10-P, M10-D, M10-R, M10-monochrom.
An extra hidden slot will allow you to store an extra SD card inside the handle.
Quick-access hinged door that allows you to remove your battery and SD card while leaving your grip attached to the camera.
Tripod quick lock rail (ARCA standard) and standard 1/4″ screw are present to ensure maximum compatibility.
Beautiful aesthetics that won’t ruin your beautiful Leica slim line! It actually replaces the original Leica baseplate. The black and silver anodizing have been made to get very close to the original finish.
A grippy profile that will let you hold your camera with only two fingers.
Available finishes: Black anodized or Silver anodized body. Matte black grip handle.

Migrating to a new server, expect some hiccups this weekend

By LR admin | Published: March 3, 2023

LeicaRumors will be migrating to a new server this weekend (starting at 10 pm tonight EST). With the increased traffic and a large number of posts (almost 6,000 posts, 20,000 pictures, and over 45,00 comments), it is time to move to a server with a new generation of processors. In theory, the migration should be seamless – we will be using live migration technology that promises no downtime – it will just require a reboot (a downtime of about two to three minutes). Let’s hope that will be all.
