Stainless steel version
Best match for Silver Leica body (NOTE:It is NOT the SILVER that match the SILVER of the camera body, It is the ORGINAL color of the stainless steel itself as shown in the pictures). The color is the origional color of the stainless steel with a matt finish. Color won't change over time.
Darkened Brass version (Aged Brass Dark Gray)
Treated with aging process to give that darkened finish also with a matt finish (NOTE:It is NOT a Black that match the black of the camera body, It is DARKENED as shown in the pictures. Do not try to do black paint on it. It won't work). After prolong usage the edges will show the natual color of the brass. If being left untouch under open area it will darken again. This is the natual of the material itself which I like as it looks like patina from a black paint.
Note that the top round cover is Type 304 stainless steel as a brass top cover is not strong enough to hold the foldable grip tension). The whole product is assembled and than dipped into darkening agent. Because of different material some color different is normal.
Original Brass version (none coated) shows the original color of the brass. (NOTE: The top round cover is stainless steel, because only stainless steel is stronge enought to hold the foldable grip tension)
For Silver M bodies it is best to go with the stainless steel verions for Black M bodies it is best to go with the darkened brass version which mimic the patina of a black paint body.
Note: As these product are made by order it will take a couple of days before product can be send out.
