New Leica M 240 accessories: RRS plate, Thumbs Up and more

By LR admin | Published: April 29, 2013

RRS plate for Leica M 240

RRS released new base, L-plate and a grip for the Leica M 240 camera:

Remove the base of your Leica M240 and completely replace it with our elegant base that is CNC machined from T6061 aluminum. With integral dovetails, this base allows you to mount your camera directly into a Really Right Stuff quick-release clamp. Far more robust than the stock base, our replacement base delivers a better fit with tighter tolerances. And since you need to remove the base to access the battery and card on this model, we’ve developed a completely new attachment system that is tool-less. Just turn the built in wingnut closure to secure the base in place (base attaches to camera’s integral tripod socket).

Match Technical has developed a new Thumbs Up EP-10S for he Leica M 240:
