Re: Do folks use Leica M cameras "naked" (ie without grips of any ...
I use the camera without a thumb grip with most lenses on my M10s. A Thumbs Up helps with heavy lenses (sometimes with the 417g 50 Summilux Reissue and generally with most 90s and 135s).
I have found the thumb grip can be uncomfortable when carrying the camera over my shoulder as it protrudes slightly and rubs against my side if I'm wearing light clothing (I'm in Florida). The bare camera just feels better. However, there have been times when the thumb wheel "readjusts" itself by rubbing against my side (or when being put in and out of a snug fit bag) when the camera is bare. It never happens with the thumb grip in place so I use it when carrying the camera in a shoulder bag.
I have the Leica hand grip and medium finger loop which I rarely use and will likely sell.
An Arte De Mano 1/2 case is pretty much permanently installed on my M10-R. It is feels and looks good protects the minty body, and the flip door for battery and card access is sometimes handy.
