> What are the best leather half cases for the Leica SL2 that actually fit right? I bought this cheap one for a trip to Italy next week and its absolute garbage, it blocks the battery release lever honestly been there. bought a cheap one from ebay once and it was basically cardboard. for the sl2 you really want something with a metal base so it doesnt wiggle around. the Lim's Design Genuine Leather Half Case for Leica SL2 is probably your best bet if you need it fast. its usually around 150 bucks and they have them on sites like amazon or b&h so itll arrive before your trip. it has a built-in dovetail for tripod heads which is super handy and the battery door cut-out actually works perfectly. some other brands make you take the whole case off just to swap cards or batteries which is a huge pain when youre on the move. another solid one is the Oberwerth Half Case for Leica SL2 but its pushing your budget and might take longer to ship from germany depending on where you are. lims uses high quality leather that actually smells like leather too lol. if you can find a used Arte di Mano Half Case for Leica SL2 that would be the dream but those are usually custom made and take weeks to arrive. just stick with the lims for the sl2 and youll be fine for italy. its rugged enough for travel and doesn't feel like plastic garbage. plus it actually fits the curves of the body without any weird gaps. have fun in italy btw, take plenty of shots.
