The Handgrip M8 / M8.2 is especially ergonomical when using the high-speed lenses of the LEICA M system. It's easier on the photographer's hands and makes it easier for him to hold the camera still even for long reportage sessions. The Handgrip M8 / M8.2 is available in black or silver to match the LEICA M8 / M8.2 camera models.

The Handgrip M8 / M8.2 is attached to the LEICA M8 / M8.2 instead of the normal base plate and ensures ergonomic photography with high-speed lenses such as the APO-SUMMICRON-M f/2/90 mm ASPH.
